About this book: This is an emblem book written by the Dutch poet Johan de Brune. The book contains a total of 51 emblems, each with a caption indicating the moral, followed by an engraving and a rhyme. This is followed by an explanation of varying length. The images used with the text were often seen as ambiguous and are usually interpreted differently by various scholars. The images varied between the secular Dutch Reformed Church and themes of the Dutch Golden Age (Wikipedia).
For a much more in-depth look into this book, one can read the chapter in Emblems of the Low Countries: A Book Historical Perspective by Marleen van der Weij. She wrote an entire chapter called “ ‘A Good Man, Burgher and Christian’: the intended reader in Johan de Brune’s Emblemata” that is dedicated to this book. From pages 111-128, she discusses in detail the value of the book, the background of the type of reader that De Brune was tailoring to and some of the major themes in the emblems.
Van der Weij declares that “in modern studies the emblem book of Johan de Brune is usually described as one of the finest examples of Dutch emblem literature.” She points out that this praise is mainly due to the illustrations, but also not to disregard the prose commentaries, which showcase the writing talents of De Brune. De Brune dedicated his emblems to Steven Tenijs, who was an influential man in Middleburg and a friend to the De Brune family.
Evidentially, De Brune’s intended audience were educated and privileged Christian males. His emblems are full of sexual morality and often reinforce double standards between women and men. De Brune assumes that his readers are active and influential participants in religion and politics (124). Each of his emblems reflect Protestant-Christian principles. The author then further illustrates these themes in selected emblems.
There are several editions, the first one being published in Amsterdam in 1624. A second one was published in 1636. The Ringling edition was from 1661.

A Dutch Baby Pancake is a sweet breakfast dish similar to Yorkshire Pudding. Unlike Yorkshire Pudding it is made with butter rather than beef drippings. It is served with the same toppings found on pancakes although due to the fat content, it is generally not topped with additional butter.

Pepernoten (literally, 'pepper nuts', the Dutch equivalent of Pfeffernüsse) are a cookie-like kind of confectionery, traditionally associated with the early December Sinterklaas holiday in the Netherlands.
A particularly distinct custom associated with pepernoten is throwing them in handfuls through the room so children can look for them.
