The portraits contain engraved captions which are latin verses by Arias Montanus. Bound and put in order by the French 19th-century binder Capé (binding signed on the inside of the front cover). Bound in full red morocco, raised gilt spine, large central gilt floral decoration on both covers, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. Fine complete copies with clear strong imprints of the humanist portrait collections published and engraved by Philippe Galle. The first work, published by Frans Raphelengius in 1595 , was intended as a supplement to the second work; Galle's Virorum... from 1572. It can either be treated as a continuation of the latter or as a separate publication ( Oxford, Ashmolean Museum). Leaf A² from the second work remained blank. There exist at least two states of this suite. Some appear to have a dedication on leaf A². Both suites contain some very famous or well known portraits of 16th-century scientist and or humanists; e.g. Mercator, Vesalius, Plantin, Vives, Budé, Dodoens, Thomas More..."‎
