Les livres d’emblèmes imprimés en Europe sont florissants entre le XVIe et XVIIIe siècle. Les emblèmes de la mort constituent pour les chercheurs un sujet passionnant dont le présent ouvrage présente le travail exhaustif en complétant celui de Gisèle Mathieu-Castellani, Emblèmes de la mort. Le dialogue de l’image et du texte (Paris, A.-G. Nizet, 1988) qui se concentre principalement sur les emblèmes produits aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles en France. Les emblèmes de la mort créés lors de cette période ne présentent pas aux lecteurs de nouvelles idées sur ce sujet, alors que les auteurs d’emblèmes italiens élaborent et expriment la philosophie et la théologie avec lesquelles ils ont grandi, se sont convertis et ont étudié. Les emblèmes de la mort sont divisés en deux catégories, ceux qui sont inspirés par les croyances chrétiennes (catholiques et protestantes) et ceux qui utilisent les idéaux humanistes comme la survie après la mort par la gloire. Les auteurs d'emblèmes intègrent dans leurs textes un mélange de facteurs politico-idéologique, spirituel et historique, que les contributeurs de cet ouvrage décrivent et interprètent magistralement.

The emblem was big business in early-modern Europe, used extensively not only in printed books and broadsheets, but also to decorate pottery, metalware, furniture, glass and windows and numerous other domestic, devotional and political objects. At its most basic level simply a combination of symbolic visual image and texts, an emblem is a hybrid composed of words and picture. However, as this book demonstrates, understanding the precise and often multiple meaning, intention and message emblems conveyed can prove a remarkably slippery process. In this book, Peter Daly draws upon many years' research to reflect upon the recent upsurge in scholarly interest in, and rediscovery of, emblems following years of relative neglect. Beginning by considering some of the seldom asked, but important, questions that the study of emblems raises, including the importance of the emblem, the truth value of emblems, and the transmission of knowledge through emblems, the book then moves on to investigate more closely-focussed aspects such as the role of mnemonics, mottoes and visual rhetoric. The volume concludes with a review of some perhaps inadequately considered issues such as the role of Jesuits (who had a role in the publication of about a quarter of all known emblem books), and questions such as how these hybrid constructs were actually read and interpreted. Drawing upon a database containing records of 6,514 books of emblems and imprese, this study suggests new ways for scholars to approach important questions that have not yet been satisfactorily broached in the standard works on emblems.
