Drie fragmenten van tekst bij een prent van het tafereel van Cebes 1561 - 1596

This artwork, "Drie fragmenten van tekst bij een prent van het tafereel van Cebes", is a collection of three fragments of text from an unknown printed book, likely created between 1561 and 1596. The fragments, housed in the Rijksmuseum, are mounted separately and are part of a larger work that may have depicted Cebes' Table, a visual allegory used in classical times to illustrate the journey of life. The fragments show remnants of the text, providing a glimpse into the content of the original book and offering a valuable insight into printing practices of the period. The remnants of the text may hold valuable information for scholars studying classical literature and the history of printing.
