IMAGINES L. DOCTORUM VIRORUM 5 Appendix 2 C QUI BENE DE STUDIIS LÍTERARUM MERUERE (1587) 50 engravings In 1587 Philips Galle published his third series of por traits of illustrious scholars. In his introduction Frans van Ravelingen, who wrote all the verses accompanying the portraits, states that this publication is to be considered as the promised supplement to the 1572-senes. Only two portraits had been used in the 1567-edidon (Aventinus and Beatus Rhenanus), while no engravings of the 1.572- edition have been used at all. Again most of the scholars chosen come from the late fifteenth or the sixteenth cen tury, although a handful from the later middle ages have been added (e.g. Thomas ab Aquino and several Italian jurists). The tide page is followed by an unnumbered sheet.Recto: one page with a Latin introduction, set in letterpress and written by Frans van Ravelingen: "LITERARUM ETV LITERATORUM STU --/ DIO SIS S./ Promissum OV lEaXlVOYpETOV Ov8' a^aTTjAGV Ov8 ateX£VTT|tOV esse deberé, nemo nisi make fidei/ negat: non minus enim ad solutionem more bono/ promissio obhgat, quam iure stricto stapulatio aut/ oblig an o. Fatetur id et suo exemplo docet Phi-/ lippus Gallaeus. Cum enim, ut semper reip, et ijs/ qui isti profuerurit prodesse opere maxumo studuit; /ante axmos quindecim Eruditorum virorum effigies aliquot ederet, au-/ etiorem editionem promittebat. Quae quidem graves ob causas usque/ adhuc dilata est; non autem prorsus sublata. Nam ecce cum foenore satis-/ facit. non primum opus auget; novum nec hactenus visum dat. its tamen,/ uti, pro cuiusque arbitratu, priori annecti possit et separatim ha- / beri.Verum uno opus hoc priori cedet, titulis, inquarn, et indicibus/ Iixiaginúm.Prioribus lux affulsit a Benedicto Aria Montano, his tene-/ brae erunt a tcnebris ingenij mei.Audax tamen post tantum virum hoc/ iter trivi: mm quod petenti id Gallaeo, amico avito et paterno, recusare/ durum fuisset; turn quod sperem, aetatcrn meam adules- centem tudorem/ fore a stilo et censura.

PL Raphelengius." 228 "Greetings to those who are well-disposed to the liberal arts and men of letters. That a promise must neither be revocable, nor wily, nor unaccomplished [<strong>Home</strong>r, Iliad, book 1, verses 526-527], no one will deny, save someone of bad reputation. For a promise obliges no less to fulfilment by common decen cy, than an agreement and an obligation bind by exact rules of law. Philips Galle agrees to this and proves it by his own example. For when he edited some portraits of learned men fifteen years ago, doing his very best to be of benefit to public interest and its protagonists, he promised an enlarged edition. Until now, due to serious reasons, this has been delayed, but not entirely cancelled. For behold, he has given satisfaction with Interest. He does not enlarge the first work, but releases a new one, as yet unpublished. Issued, however, in such a way that it can, according to your own taste, both be used as an appen dix to the first book and be held separately. But in one aspect this work will be inferior to the first edition; I am referring to the captions and the verses underneath the portraits.To the previous ones lustre was added by Benito Arias Montano, while these will remain in obscurity due to the insignificance of my talent.Yet 1 have recklessly fol lowed this great man's footsteps: both because it would have been difficult to refuse Galle's request, for he is an ancestral and paternal friend, and because I hope that my youthful age will make me less liable to stylus and criti cism. Besides, to anyone that judges without a malicious intention: do not scoff at the portraits, but also do not praise the verses, even if you want to. That I will allow. That I will once want. Farewell and enjoy yourself. August 1, 1587." (translated from the Latin by Jan Bloemendal) Verso: a table of contents in letterpress and underneath the approbatio by the Antwerp canon Michiel Hetsrocy (Bruegel c. 1540 - Antwerp 1593): "APPROBATIO./ Michael Hctsroey a Bruegel, Canomcus Antverpiensis vidit et/ approbavit. X. lulij, Anno M. D. LXXXVII./ Michael Hetsroey, manu propria." (four lines).Then fol low 50 portraits, numbered 1 to 50, with verses engraved in the margin underneath. All die portraits seem to have been engraved by Philips Galle. Galle reissued this series twice. In 1595 die 1587-edition was published widi a slighdy different tide page and new versions of the portraits of Andreas Schott and Laevinus Torrenrius, engraved by Theodoor Galle and Gijsbert van Veen respectively. In 1606 Galle again republished the
1587-edition. Besides changes in the tide page, the por traits of Vighus van Aytta van Zwichem, Joost de Bamhoudere, Francesco Jimenez de Cisneros, Charles de Langhe, Cornelis fviuys, Jacopo Sadoleto and Janus Secundus were included in different states as found in the 1595-editIon. lit.: Cockx-Indestege 1968-94, vol 1, p. 90, nos. 1211-1212; VanSomeren 1888-91,vol. l,pp. 124-125;BataUlon 1942, pp. 158-159; Sellink 1992a, pp. 24-25 Copies: 1587-editiom Amsterdam (Universiteitsbibliotheek, Universiteit van Amsterdam), Amsterdam (Rijksprentenkabinet, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Antwerp (Stedelijk Prentenkabinet, Museum Plantdn-Moretus, Antwerpen, two copies, one bound with 1572b-edition), Brussels (Koninklijke Bibliotheek Albert I, Brussel; Bibiiothèque Royale Albert Ier, Bruxelles, bound with the album ami- corum of Jacobus Boschuyvius, dated 1588), Cambridge (Printroom, Fitzwilliarn Museum, Cambridge, Cam bridge (USA) (Harvard University, Cambridge (USA), Dresden (Kupferstichkabinett der Staadichen Kunst sammlungen,Dresden), Florence (Biblioteca Nazionale, Firenze, bound with 1572-edition, Ghent (Univer siteitsbibliotheek, Rijksuniversiteit Gent, Leiden (Universiteitsbibliotheek, Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, Louvsdn, (Centrale Bibliotheek, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Madrid (Gablnete de estaxnpas y belias artes, Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid, two copies, one incom plete), New Haven (Yale University, New Haven, Paris (Cabinet des estampes, Bibiiothèque Nationale, Paris, bound with 1572a-edition, Regembiarg (Fürst Thurn undTaxis'schc Hofbibliothek, University Park (Univer sity of Pennsylvania, University Park, Washington (Library of Congress.Washington, bound with 1572?-edition and 10 portraits from 1567-edition) 1595-edition: Brussels (Prentenkabinet, Koninklijke Bibliotheek Albert I, Brussel; Cabinet des estampes, Bibiiothèque Royale Albert Ier, Bruxelles, two copies, one bound with 1572b-edition), Edinburgh (National Library of Scouand, Edinburgh Appendix 2 C 229 1606-edition: Minnesota (University of Minnesota, Minnesota, Paris (Cabinet des estampes, Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, bound with 1572a- and 1604-editions) The 50 portraits from the 1587-edition are first listed in alphabetical order (Î) and then according to the numbered sequence in the series (H).
