Catalogue Identification

The Getty copy is described in the linked Open Library record as English, 1690, with eight preliminary pages, a sequence ending at 86, and one plate leaf. The record notes the separately titled companion and the intervening blanks. The Wellcome catalogue also identifies the English 1690 publication and credits the W. F. frontispiece to William Faithorne. Differences in catalogue collation are resolved here through the selected native copy’s inventory.

The Engraving and Its Inscriptions

The full historical plate is reproduced from native leaf 006 of the Getty scan, retaining the engraved signature and all banners. The Latin inscriptions are collated against that image and freshly translated. The complete authorial explanation remains in the postscript, distinct from the modern emblem guide and reflective interpretations.

The Diotimos Reading and Study Features

The modern English reading, fresh Latin translations, annotations, editorial divisions, essays, glossary, contextual lexicon, relations, emblem guide, reading routes, questions, and index were prepared for this Diotimos edition. The historical text and engraving date from 1690 and are in the public domain. The Text Creation Partnership transcription is credited under its CC0 terms; the native image is credited to the Getty Research Institute and Internet Archive.

The parallel and English-only files derive from the same reviewed historical units and modern reading. The latter retains the historical plate, translated inscriptions, all annotations, and the study features. It provides stable passage references for comparison with the original wording in the companion parallel edition.
