De imitatione cum oratoria, tum præcipue poetica deque recitatione veterum - Vossius, Gerardus Joannes 1577-1649 (Amsterdam Elsevier, 1647)
Frontispiece printed in black and red ink
Vossius was a Dutch Protestant theologian, linguist, historian and humanist (1577-1649). He was amongst the first scholars to treat both Christian theological dogma and non-Christian religion from a scientific-historical, instead of a theological point of view. He was regarded as a homo universalis because he involved himself in many fields of science.
Bound in with 'De artis poeticæ natura' and 'Poeticarum institutionum'
