This volume includes the late Elisabeth Stopp’s previously unpublished study of the emblem book of Adrien Gambart (1660-68), an introductory essay by Agnès Guiderdoni-Bruslè that updates and supplements Stopp’s work, and a facsimile of Gambart’s emblem book. This remarkable book was inspired by the life and writings of St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), and written for the Sisters of the Visitation monastery of Faubourg Saint-Jacques in Paris, where Gambart, a Vincentian priest, served as chaplain for over thirty years. Gambart’s emblems visualize many of the literary images that Francis employs in his writings, as well as draws on other popular sources of the emblematic tradition. By means of the emblems, Gambart seeks to identify in a tangible and memorable way for the reader the truly remarkable qualities of Francis’s life and the exceptional elements of Salesian spirituality. Such a method, Gambart points out, is in keeping with Francis’s own profuse use of images and symbols to communicate his spiritual doctrine as concretely and clearly as possible. Each emblem invites the reader to reflect on an episode from Francis’s biography or on one of his particular virtues. One emblem is provided for each of the fifty-two weeks of the year and is explained by an explanatory meditation, which is then followed by seven points for prayer and resolution, one for each day of the week. Gambart called these points Fruits et pratiques (Fruits and Practice), a summary, as it were, of what was to be learned from meditation on the emblematic picture. Stopp’s study offers an English translation of the key observations made by Gambart about each of the fifty-two emblems, while the facsimile makes available Gambart’s original French text. Moreover, the facsimile is reproduced in color in order to convey the tonal richness of the original emblems.

Saints and Signs analyzes a corpus of hagiographies, paintings, and other materials related to four of the most prominent saints of early modern Catholicism: Ignatius of Loyola, Philip Neri, Francis Xavier, and Therese of Avila.Verbal and visual documents - produced between the end of the Council of Trent (1563) and the beginning of the pontificate of Urban VIII (1623) - are placed in their historical context and analyzed through semiotics - the discipline that studies signification and communication - in order to answer the following questions: How did these four saints become signs of the renewal of Catholic spirituality after the Reformation? How did their verbal and visual representations promote new Catholic models of religious conversion? How did this huge effort of spiritual propaganda change the modern idea of communication?The book is divided into four sections, focusing on the four saints and on the particular topics related to their hagiologic identity: early modern theological debates on grace (Ignatius of Loyola); cultural contaminations between Catholic internal and external missions (Philip Neri); the Christian identity in relation to non-Christian territories (Francis Xavier); the status of women in early modern Catholicism (Therese of Avila).
