nos. 110-163 and vol. 7, p. 81, nos. 568-622.This series is
dedicated to Paul de Kempenaer, also see above, On sev­
eral preparatory drawings by Bol, see Franz 1965, passim
and Zwollo 1969. On the rare Gheeraerts series of fight­

150. On The royal stable of Don fuan (published

known to exist, two of them (reversed and reduced in size)
published by Galle himself, one by Marcus Sadeler. On
the birds and butterflies after Gheeraerts (published
around 1580/85), see Hollstein, vol 7, p. 103, nos. 33-44
(a later edition by Johannes Galle), Hodnett 1971, p. 58
and 71, and Balis 1968-69, pp. 32-33. Copies after these
engravings were published by Hendrick Hondius, who
would have been aware of this series through the gold­
smith Quinten van der Gracht. Both Hondius and, much
earlier in Antwerp, Philips Galle were acquainted with Van
der Gracht, to whom Galle dedicated his series of birds
and butterflies; compare Orenstein 1996, pp. 24-26 and
pp. 182-183, nos. 190-201. As a young pupil in the art of
engraving in Antwerp, possibly in the workshop of
Johannes Wierix, Hondius, who was much later to reprint
several of Galle s plates, may have become acquainted with
the Antwerp publisher in person. On Galle s series of flow­
ers, entided Florilegium and probably published after 1585,
see Hollstein, vol 4, p. 207, nos. 679-702, Hymans 1907,

series copies by Nicolaes de Bruyn are known.

157. See the records of the guild from the years
1584 to 1586;Van Lerius 1864-76, pp. 289 ff. As a former
dean Galle s name appears regularly in these records until
c 1600.The status of Galle can also be surmised from the
fact that in 1590 he was asked, together with Pieter van
der Borcht and (for the cartographic copperplates)
Abraham. Ortels, to assess the value of the stock of cop­
perplates in the estate of Chxistophe Plantin, who had
died in 1589; seeVoet 1969-72, vol 1, pp. 164-165.
158. The Instruction et fondemenis is discussed in
detail in chapter 3, the Prosopographia in chapter 4.

160. On Cornells Galle, seeVan den Bemden, 1863,
pp. 33-42,Thieme/Becker. vol. 13, pp. 105-106, also see
appendix 1C. Many of his early engravings are discussed

p. 383 (Barbé), p. 389 (Spierinck), p. 432 (Backereel). Of
the last three no signed works are known with the address
of Philips Galle. It is also strange to see an apprentice of
Philips Galle mentioned in 1605, as Theodoor had by then
