Description
Joannes Sambucus' Emblemata, Antwerp: Christophe Plantin, 1564. A variant of the famous motto, Paupertatem summis ingeniis obesse ne provehantur (“Poverty hinders the greatest wits from advancing.” A passage of the text below the emblem reads: "Hinc quibus ingenium est, multos fortuna retardat, Non dignisque refert praemia iniqua viris. " (Hence, Fortune hinders many who have talent, and grants unfair rewards to those who do not deserve them.)
