商品簡介
Much revised and extended forms of 17 papers presented to a December 2015 conference in Münster, Germany explore emblems and emblem books in which the visual image belongs to the realm of nature--mostly animals but also plants, celestial objects, and other natural phenomena--from about 1530 to about 1700. Scholars of history, literature, and art discuss emblematic zoology--zoological emblem books; emblem books on physical phenomena; the applied use of natural emblems, especially in monarchial and courtly centers; and the hermeneutic and didactic use of the natural world.
