Folger-specific note
Purchase made possible by The Eric and Mary Weinmann Acquisitions Fund. From dealer's description: "First edition, very rare, of the first translation into German of Icon animorum (1614) by the Franco-Scottish neo-Latin writer John Barclay (1582-1621), known for his Euphormionis Lusinini Satyricon (1603?-1607) and Argenis (1621). Barclay’s focus in this book was on the delineation, often in unflattering terms, of his ideas concerning the national characteristics of the citizens of various European nations, with sections including discussion of the French, English, Scottish, Irish, Dutch, Italians, Spanish, Hungarians, Poles, Muscovites, Turks and Jews. The first English translation from the Latin had been published as The mirrour of mindes, or, Barclay’s Icon animorum (London, 1631). Printed at Bremen, this German translation, also from the original Latin, was made by Johann Seyfert of Ulm, “Schwedischen Feldt Pastorn.” Given the inclusion of discussion of the German national character it is unsurprising that the work was popular in Germany, with several editions following later in the seventeenth century, including another printed at Bremen under the title: Spiegel Menschlicher Gemüths Neigungen ... (Bremen, 1660)." Ordered from Samuel Gedge D9306, 2019-05-29, Cat. 28 #15
