The Margarita philosophica, as described by Mr. Plimpton in his Education of Shakespeare, “was the first modern encyclopedia of any note, based on the late Latin models… [It] consists of twelve books, and contains a compendium of the Trivium, the Quadrivium, and the natural and moral sciences. Its popularity is shown by its having been published in sixteen editions in the course of a century.” This is the second edition. Shown here is the allegorical woodcut depicting Rhetoric.
