The albums of Karel van Sint Omaars (1533–1569) (Libri picturati A 16–31, in the Jagiellon Library in Krakow)

Abstract

The Libri picturati A 16–31 now in the Jagiellon Library in Krakow were first recognised in 1936 by Hans Wegener, who attributed the collection to Clusius. A thorough study based on a codicological analysis of the collection, a comparison of the watercolours with the Kruydtboeck by Lobelius (1581) and a study of Clusius's correspondence from the library at the University of Leiden and the Arenberg archives in Edingen caused me to reach a different conclusion. The Libri picturati A16–31 is a collection commissioned by Karel van Sint Omaars, painted for the greater part by Jacques van Corenhuyse, annotated by Clusius and afterwards rearranged and supplemented by Karel van Arenberg.
