Binding: sheepskin. Traces of gilt tooling on spine. Edges sprinkled red. Armorial bookplate of Charles Walmesley, Westwood.
Leaves 115-124 comprise the 4th suite. Of the 40 unnumbered engravings printed 4 to a page, 30 depict Carmelite saints and were originally published as illustrations to Oliverius a Sancto Anastasio's Gheestelijcke liefdestrydt (Antwerp, 1662); see Emond, p. 63. Images are 8-sided, ca. 8.5 x 6.5 cm, and have four-line legends in Latin (the last in Dutch). Engraved by Peeter Clouwet, Richard Collin, Adriaen Lommelin and Pieter van Lisebetten after drawings by van Diepenbeeck. The remaining engravings depict instances of the Virgin of Carmel's divine intervention. They are about the same size and in the same 8-sided format as those from Gheestelijcke liefdestrydt, but are unsigned and have no legends.
Leaves 108-114 comprise the 3rd suite, devoted to the life and miracles of St. Albert of Sicily. The 24 engravings are mounted over rectangular openings cut in the 7 leaves, mostly 4 to a leaf (3 on the first leaf, 1 on the last). The first print, signed by Davit Clouwet as engraver, is the unnumbered title: Vita et miracula S. Alberti confessoris Ordinis B.V. Mariae de Monte Carmelo Sicili[ae] prioris prouincialis. The prints that follow are numbered 1-23. The images are in ovals ca. 9.5 cm. in height, Latin text beneath.
Leaves 58-107 comprise the 2nd suite, devoted to the life and miracles of St. Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi. First leaf is title: Vita seraphicae virginis S. Mariae Magdalenae de Pazzis Florentinae Ordinis B.V. Mariae de Monte Carmelo regularis observantiae iconibus expressa. Engravings that follow the title are numbered in the plate 1-49 (plate marks ca. 22 x 16 cm. on sheets 36 x 25 cm); C. Emond in L'iconographie Carmélitaine dans les anciens Pays-Bas méridionaux, p. 181, calls for 48 prints. Legends in Latin, French and Dutch. Plates engraved by Frederik Bouttats Jr., Gaspard Bouttats, Martin Bouché, Davit Clouwet, Pieter van Lisebetten and Adriaen Lommelin, after drawings by van Diepenbeeck. Plate 48 depicts the canonization of St. Maria Maddalena on 28 April 1669, so the drawings for the suite must have been produced between that date and van Diepenbeeck's death in 1675.
Leaves 4-57 comprise the 1st suite, devoted the life and miracles of the prophet Elijah and originally published as illustrations to Daniel a Virgine Maria's Speculum Carmelitanum (Antwerp, 1680); see Elija von seinem Kult in Bild und Wort / J. Kotschner, p. 9. Forty-one of the prints are engravings numbered in the plate [1], 2-40, [41] (plate marks ca. 31 x 20 cm on sheets 36 x 25 cm). The last print, mistakenly left unnumbered, was intended to stand between nos. 30 and 31; see Kotschner. Prints 9 and 11 are signed by Adriaen Lommelin as engraver after drawings by van Diepenbeeck. The remaining thirteen prints are second copies of prints 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 19, 21, 22, 23, 38. These are trimmed close to the plate mark and mounted on blank leaves; some retain MS numbering at upper right. They appear to be earlier impressions than those of the complete suite, and are on heavy, unwatermarked paper rather than the paper watermarked with two interlaced C's used for the complete suite. Legend of plate 39 of complete suite includes the imprint: Jac. Panneels omnes hasce tabulas ex. Brux. via Caesareâ. The printer Jacques Panneels II was active in Brussels 1736-39, though with a partner and not on the Keiserstraat; see users.skynet.be/biobibdata, consulted 25 May 07. Perhaps the imprint was added to the plate by Jacques Panneels I rather than II, not later than 1736.
Leaf 3 is a hand-lettered title for the present vol. as a whole, here used as title proper.
Leaf 2 is an engraving after van Diepenbeeck, perhaps an added engraved title leaf, with legend: D. Augustini et SS. patrum de libero arbitrio interpres Thomisticus, contra Iansenitas.
Leaf 1 is a specimen engraved title leaf (not that of the present vol.). Title reads: Legatio ecclesiae triumphantis ad militantem, pro liberandis animabus purgatorii communibus conciuibus ... / edebat R.P.F. Elias a S. Teresia ... Antuerpiae : Apud Iacobum Meseum, 1638. Engraved by Alexander Voet after Abraham van Diepenbeeck.
Of the 4 suites of prints that chiefly comprise this bound vol., the 2nd and 4th are printed on paper with watermark of a lion rampant on a shield with scroll-work border, surmounted by a crown. This suggests that these two suites were printed together at some point after their separate original publications, perhaps around the time the first suite was printed (conjecturally not after 1736). The engravings of the 3rd suite have been mounted in openings cut in sheets of the same paper with lion watermark, presumably at the time the 2nd and 4th suites were printed.
