Lettering

Vera ac viva effigies Johan. Jesseni à Jessen, equit. ungarici, medic. doct. ac primùm quid. in florentiss. Witteberg. Acad. Anatomices ac Botanices Profess. Publ. postmod. v. Reg. bohem. Archiatri, Consiliar. Oratoris & Legati; Pragæ demùm fata tristiss. experti, <Greek> tou en hagiois. <Roman> Deus mihi hæec ocia fecit Hic tibi Jesseniæ depicta est umbra figuræ <...> quemlibet arte virum. Frid. Taub. In the lettering there is a space between Deus and mihi where the word "Saxoque" (present in earlier impressions) has been gouged out of the woodblock. Presumably it was considered inappropriate after Jessenius' terrible death
