With many emblems (included in the pagination) throughout. Fifth Latin edition, rarely found complete with both volumes as here, of Picinello?s magnificent and highly popular encyclopaedia of emblems - a cornerstone of emblematic literature and an essential guide for understanding the allegorical language of the Baroque era. ?Picinelli?s intention was to compile a collection of brief interpretations which he wanted to have close to hand, especially on his travels as a preacher. From this collection of emblems, originally covering only four pages, the full reference work developed.The author wants the book to be understood not only figuratively as a book of the world: for him it really is the world, it contains the world in all its reality and, conversely, the whole world can be derived from it. In this he follows the interpretation of Romans 1,20 that, since the creation of the world, the invisible secrets of God can be perceived by the understanding mind through His works.? (Olms Online) Filippo Picinelli (1604 ? 1679) was an Augustinian munk. Picinelli was born in Milan, Italy in 1604 and joined the Augustinian Order in 1614. He studied philosophy and theology at Cremona and Piacenza and lived in Milan. (Landwehr 480 - Not listing this edition, 1681, 1687, 1694 and 1715).
