S.l. (Antwerp ?), no publisher (Plantin-Moretus Press ?) , 1609 (for the first two parts), 1601 (for the third part). Format in-4°, (22,5 x 17 cm), Engraved title page (triple title within pictorial renaissance style border) +(18)nn pp + 174 pp (Gaurico text) + (2)nn pp (blank) + (24) nn pp + 16 pp + engraved title page + engraved portrait + 98 full page engraved plates each with 2 ills. + 49 plates eeach with 4 ills. Bound in contemporary full vellum, gilt decorated spine with a trace of the missing title label. Vellum a bit soiled but still a fine copy with a nearly stainless interior., This is the second edition of Goorle's book on his collection of antique Roman cameo rings; enlarged with a text by Gaurico and one by Demontosius. Similarly to the first edition also published without a place of imprint nor a printer's name. The title page of this edition is a reworked plate of the first edition; the year 1609 and titles of the 2 added works were included in the title text. We compared this so-called second edition with the first edition (presumably printed in 1601) and can confirm that for this second ''imprint'' the left-over sheets of the first imprint were used, with the addition of 12 plates at the end (ills.numbered 149 - 196). All the dedications and privileges of the first edition are included. Apart from the two added text (Gurico & Demontosius) the only new element is a laudatory text by Matthias Martini, written in Antwerp and dated April 1607.This addition made to the second edition makes it very likely that both editions were printed in Antwerp. A study of the nice initials (36 x 36 mm) will allmost certainly revail the Antwerp printer (Moretus ?). The reason for the concealment of the printer's name may be found in the bitter religeous struggle which was raging in the Netherlands. Goorle, of Antwerp descent was in the service of the stadthouder Adolf van Nieuwenaar in Utrecht but also befriended with Ernest of Bavaria, Prince-elector archbishop of Cologne, bischop of Liège, an ardent supporter of the Counter-reformation. .
