Abstract

Based on an iconographic analysis of the covers of six Dutch editions of the Attic Nights published between 1644 and 1706 (objects, fauna and characters), as well as the possible relationships of some of the elements studied with the work itself, we have established several guidelines to better understand the cultural history of the Attic Nights during the Dutch Golden Age. In a particular way, the scientific interest, as well as some elements of everyday life, already present in the Dutch art of the moment, allow us to better appreciate the approach that is made of the Latin work to a new cultural and historical context.
