Description
Book Synopsis: This work of 17th century emblems and figurative language is not intended to be an exhaustive study of the subject. It is intended merely to be a handy index of Daniel de la Feuille’s large collection of emblems and sayings for English readers and Latin students. The student and amateur of 17th century figurative language, however, will find much in this collection that is interesting and useful; most importantly, faithful English translations of the Latin sayings and mottos that were the foundation of the multi-lingual editions of de la Feuille and other emblem books. The images have been taken from a private copy of a 1699 German edition by Heinrich Offelen of Daniel de la Feuille’s Devises Et Emblemes Anciennes Et Modernes which was first published in 1691 in Amsterdam.
