Georgette de Montenay’s emblem book stands at the crossroads of Reformation devotion and early modern innovation: the first emblem book ever written by a woman and the earliest to use copper engravings rather than woodcuts. The 1619 Frankfurt edition preserves her pioneering vision in a refined Protestant “Stammbuch” format.

François-Hyacinthe Choquet’s 1618 Sancti Belgi Ordinis Praedicatorum offers a rare window into the women who shaped Dominican spirituality in the Low Countries. Margaret of Ypres, Margareta de Gerines, and Brigida of Holland emerge as vivid witnesses to northern mysticism, lay devotion, and the rich devotional world surrounding the early Dominican houses.
