Scope and content
(Engraved by Picquet. The central illustration depicts two flying storks, one feeding the other, surrounded by the motto ‘Honora patrem tuum, et matrem tuam, ut sis longæus super terram. Ex. xx.’ and by various depictions of filial devotion. At the head are the printer’s arms, and at the foot his mark containing the initials ‘S. C.’ This device appears in Nicholas Abram’s Commentarius in tertium volumen orationum M. T. Ciceronis (1631). Below the device is printed in capitals ‘Lvtetiae Parisiorum,’ evidently part of the publisher’s imprint.)
