The anthology Pieux Desirs, published simultaneously in Antwerp and Paris in 1627, is the French adaptation of the Pia Desideria from 1624, a collection of Latin meditational emblems. The initial collation was done by the Jesuit Herman Hugo and comprises 46 engravings, from Boetius to Bolswert. The present ‘translation’ constitutes the first edition to put the work at the disposal of a larger public. The Pia Desideria had a real European ‘bestseller’ effect in the emblematic production of the 17th century: the French translation helped its distribution by establishing an extended readership. Furthermore, the quality of the poems speak for themselves.
