Download or read book A Book of Emblems written by Andrea Alciati and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2004-07-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrea Alciati's Emblematum Liber was an essential work for every writer, artist and scholar in post-medieval Europe. First published in 1531, this illustrated book was a collection of emblems, each consisting of a motto or proverb, a typically enigmatic illustration, and a short explanation. Most of the emblems had symbolic and moral applications. Scholars depended on Alciati's book to interpret contemporary art and literature, while writers and artists turned to it to invest their work with an understood didactic sense. This new edition of the Emblematum Liber includes the original Latin texts, highly readable English translations, and the illustrations belonging to each of the 212 emblems. The editor's introduction explains both the importance and the cultural contexts of Alciati's book, as well as its innumerable artistic applications. For instance, close study of the emblems reveals--to cite only two examples--why statues of lions are traditionally placed before government buildings, and what underlying political message was conveyed by innumerable equestrian portraits during the Baroque era. The collection includes as an appendix the formerly suppressed emblem, "Adversus Naturam Peccantes," accompanied by a translation of the learned commentary applied to it by Johann Thuilius in 1612. An extensive bibliography points the student to scholarly research specifically dealing with artistic applications of Alciati's emblems. Altogether, this new edition of Alciati's seminal work is an essential tool for modern students of the liberal arts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Printed Books in the Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge: A Hand-List Arranged in Order of Country, Town and Press, With Short References to Proctor's Index and Other Bibliographical Works The references are in all cases made as short as is consistent with intelligibility: for example, when a book is in both Hain and Proctor, only the number in the latter is given, as the Hain number may always be found through the Proctor reference. Since the re-arrangement of the Library the early printed books have been placed together and many have been removed for this purpose from the Parker Cupboard. As the numbers have not been altered however, the phrase Parker Cupboard has been retained to explain an otherwise mysterious enumeration.
