Abstract (en)

Draws attention to the fact that the woodcut illustrations to the two emblems, "De morte et amore" and "In formosam fato praereptam" were switched in French editions as early as 1548 and in Latin editions beginning in 1556, and that the error persisted in various editions until the mid-17th c.
