The article presents frontispieces of several seventeenth-century editions of Seneca’s works, belonging to the collection of the Kopernikańska Library in Toruń, whose title pages draw a particular attention of a reader because they have a very interesting graphic layout. Presented is a title page of published in Antwerp Seneca’s works edited by Justus Lipsius dated 1605 and their third edition dated 1632, in which – according to Lipsius’ suggestion noted in one of the copies of the first edition – an image of Seneca on the frontispiece and on early pages was changed. Seneca’s portraits were made based on drawings of Paul Rubens who sketched them according to ancient models. Carrying out of a title card and portraits in both editions was commissioned to artists from Galle studio. In 1607 in Paris published was a collective edition of works by Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Philosopher and by Annaeus Seneca the Elder or the Rhetorician with comments. This book was published again in 1627. Antwerp’s editions have a title on a title page in an ornamental frame, and in Paris publications title pages have only an image of the author. The similar situation is with the Polish translation of Seneca’s tragedies in which on the left side of the frontispiece is a philosopher’s image. This edition was published in Toruń in 1696. The title pages of seventeenth-century editions of Seneca’s works presented in this article show that these books are valuable not only for their age of four hundred years and texts of the ancient author, but also because they are evidence of a vast role of art in the history of a book.

This article focuses on military handbooks from the first half of the 17th century placed in the collections of the Military History Institute Prague. In the introduction, it summarises the history and structure of the collection of early printed books in the library under study. After that, it characterises the set of the handbooks i.a. in terms of their topic, the language and the publisher’s provenance, as well as format. Its main aim is to analyse the frontispieces and engraved title pages of these publications with regard to the iconographic motifs that are usually depicted on them. The final part of the work outlines the possibilities of using the frontispieces and engraved title pages of the studied publications as iconographic sources in historiography and it places the title illustrations of the military handbooks in a wider context.
