249- The engraving is unrecorded in literamre.The<br />
engraving is dedicated to the Doornik scholar and canon<br />
Antonius van Winghe, member of a well-known patri<br />
cian family and related to the archaeologist Philips van<br />
Winghe, with whom Galle was acquainted; cp, Hessels<br />
1887, p. 411, where Galle is dianked - in a letter dated<br />
Rome 1589 - by Philips for introducing him to Stradanus.<br />
Galle may also have known Antonius through<br />
rViaximiliaan and Hieronyrnus (a brother of the above<br />
Philips) van Winghe (cp. notes 205 and 240) or through<br />
Denys deVilliers, a fellow canon at Doornik and also an<br />
acquaintance of the Galle family (see note 202) .A reduced<br />
copy by Karel de Mailery was published around the mid<br />
dle of the seventeenth century by Galles grandson<br />
Johannes.<br />
250. For some (illustrated) examples of this genre,<br />
published by the Plantm Press around 1600, compare note<br />
272. On the Jesuit appreciation of illustrated books, see<br />
below.<br />
251. Pontificum maximorum effigies (1572); see<br />
chapter 2 and appendix 2F. The four additional portraits<br />
are catalogued in appendix 2F, nos. ad 1-4.<br />
252. The copy here referred to Is in the Koninklijke<br />
Bibliotheek Albert I in Brussels.<br />
253. Compare note 187.<br />
254. The canonization of the Dominican monk<br />
inspired several paintings and engravings to be made<br />
around 1600, compare Kirschbaum 1968-76, vol. 6,<br />
pp. 557-559.<br />
255. On this subject, compare Fagiolo 1984.<br />
256. The engraving is unrecorded in literature.The<br />
design was made by Antonio Tempesta, who was the most<br />
important pupil of Galle s friend Stradanus. It would seem<br />
that Philips Galle received this design through the hands<br />
of his son Cornells, who was still living and working in<br />
Italy If (in part) intended for the Italian market, Cornells<br />
was probably also involved in its distribudon. One can<br />
suppose that a print such as Hendrik Hondius's monu<br />
mental Panorama of Rome, dated by Nadine Orenstem on<br />
stylistic grounds as c, 1600, was also issued with the Holy<br />
Year at least in back of the publisher's mind, especially as<br />
the panorama was issued with papal privilege;<br />

257. The series is unrecorded in literature. In 1636<br />
the plates were still in possession of the Galle family: "De<br />
Kercken van Roomen in acht platen" ("'The churches of<br />
Rome, 8 plates"); Duverger 1984, vol. 1/4, p. 19. There<br />
exists a copy in reverse of the entire series, published by<br />
Thomas de Leu.<br />
258. On such an Adas of Rome, cp.Van derWaals<br />
1988, pp. 41-68.<br />
259. On Michael van Ophoven, see BN, vol. 16,<br />
pp. 225-228.<br />
260. The large-size engraving (47 x 32 cm.) is<br />
unrecorded in literature.The print must have been pub<br />
lished after 1599, the last date mentioned in the family<br />
tree, and before 1605. In the latter year the censor Silvester<br />
Panic, who signed the approbatw in the lower margin, died.<br />
There is also a second edition of the engraving with the<br />
address of Galle's grandson Johannes.<br />
261. On the iconography of St. Dominic,<br />
cp. Kirschbaum 1968-76, vol. 6,pp. 72-79. In 1611 Galle s<br />
son Theodoor published an extensive print series on the<br />
life and miracles of the saint, written by the Antwerp friar<br />
Johannes Nys and illustrated with 34 plates.<br />
262. Compare Marinus 1989, pp. 134-138.<br />
263. Hollstein, vol. 7, p. 78. nos. 241-274. I thank<br />
Dirk Imhof of the Museum Plantin-Moretus for draw<br />
ing my attention to the fact that Philips Galle issued two<br />
separate editions: one with a supplementary text part in<br />
French, and one with the same text in Dutch. Payments<br />
for letterpress text printed by the Plantin Press were made<br />
in March and April of 1603. Although a third edition was<br />
published by - most unusual for any engraving from the<br />
Galle workshop - the Antwerp publisher Johannes Boel<br />
in 1628, the plates were in 1636 still in possession of the<br />
Galle family: "Het Leven van Smte-Catharina van Senen<br />
vierendertich platen" ("The life of St. Catherine of Siena,<br />
34 plates"); Duverger 1984, vol. 1/4, p. 21.The Life of Saint<br />
Catherine will be catalogued in Imhof's forthcoming cat<br />
alogue of Jan Moreens - to be published in 1998 - as<br />
nos. 0-56 and 0-57.<br />
264. On the iconography of St, Catherine - which
