Emblemata, sive, Symbola a principibus, viris eeclesiasticis [sic] ac militaribus aliisque vsurpanda [Latin]

Emblemata, sive, Symbola a principibus, viris eeclesiasticis ac militaribus aliisque vsurpanda, also known as Deuises ou emblemes pour princes, gens d'Eglise, gens de guerre, & aultres, is a significant work by Otto van Veen, dating back to 1623. This volume presents a collection of emblems and symbols intended for use by princes, ecclesiastics, military figures, and others. Van Veen's work offers insight into the symbolic language and visual culture of the early 17th century. The emblems are not merely decorative; they served as tools for communication, conveying moral, political, and personal messages. This book provides valuable source material for understanding the Renaissance and early modern European visual tradition.
