Complete works of the educational emblem books and poetical works by Jacob Cats (1577-1660), one of the most popular authors of the 17th-century Dutch Republic during its 'Golden Age'. Cats defined Dutch morals and more or less 'shaped' Dutch middle class character of the period. Cats' emblem books  were also much used as models by the pupils of Dutch painters and other artists.
Cats's works are said to be the most intensively read in the Netherlands after the Bible. A copy of 'Alle de wercken' of Cats was present in virtually every house in the Netherlands.

A good copy of this monument of Dutch 17th century Dutch literature and book-illustration, in a beautiful contemporary binding.
Museum Catsianum 6; Cats catalogus (Cats in the STCN) 6, p. 58.
