Interest in creating emblematic devices, fashionable during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, did not disappear in England with the demise of the tournament and the Stuart masque. Alan R. Young examines the hundreds of emblematic devices used by the warring parties on their military flags during and immediatley after, the English Civil Wars. To be fully understood, these emblematic devices must be 'read' as part of the massive propaganda war waged by the different factions. This collection throws light on the nature of the conflicts that led to the civil wars, based on the views set forth in the emblems and mottoes designed by the men who risked their lives in the cause of Parliament, king, covenant, or Irish Confederacy.Unlike earlier volumes in the Index Emblematicus series, which draw on printed emblem books as their sources, The English Emblem Tradition, Volume 3 brings together a corpus of material that was previously scattered widely among a number of surviving manuscripts. Wherever possible, carefully drawn illustrations of details of the flags have been reproduced from the original manuscripts. The flags are listed in alphabetical order by motto ( the mottoes are translated from the original Latin, French, Spanish, and other languages). A series of concordances, indexes, and lists makes the volume extremely accessible. Because of the unusual nature of the source material, a lengthy introductory essay is provided to explain the indexing of the text.

Le propre du secret est qu'il donne à imaginer. Il est le point de départ d'une recherche, qui peut prendre la forme de la quête, ou même de l'enquête. Il déclenche surtout une rêverie dont bénéficient la littérature et l'art. Partant d'un exemple apparemment très simple, « Le secret de maître Cornille », dans les Lettres de mon moulin, Pierre Brunei a choisi, sans aucun souci d'être exhaustif, un libre parcours. Il convoque, au gré de sa fantaisie, mais aussi d'une nécessité interne du sujet, antiques et modernes, écrivains, peintres et musiciens. Nul esprit de système, dans tout cela, nulle grammaire de l'imaginaire, mais un libre déploiement à partir de visages d'hommes, de figures mythiques et même de simples lettres de l'alphabet, immobiles ou dansantes, d'apparents cryptogrammes qui peuvent aussi constituer des clefs.

This volume is part of the Index Emblematicus series, a project whose aim is to collect and edit important works of emblem literature produced throughout Europe during the Renaissance.Volume 2 of the English Emblem Tradition provides extensive critical apparatus for four late sixteenth-century English works: P.S., The Heroicall Devises of M. Claudius Paradin [and] The Purtratures or Emblemes of Gabriel Simeon, A Florentine; Andrew Willet, Sacrorum Emblematum Centuria Una; and Thomas Combe, The Theater of Fine Devices. The volume not only reproduces each of these emblem books, but also provides brief critical and bibliographic introductions, translations of the mottoes, descriptions of the picturae, and indices to the visual and verbal components of the works.
