Volkmann enumerates and describes many of the works which illustrated the contemporary obsession with hieroglyph, emblem and device, particularly those from France and Germany, thus complementing Karl Giehlow's earlier Hieroglyphenkunde on the subject. Volkmann's book highlights both Renaissance theories of the image as language and the symbol as an aid to an understanding of the meaning of life and the nature of God. Raybould's translation has been described as elegant, admirable and impeccable and includes an introduction, extensive notes and several additional essays on topics relevant to the field. 410 0$aBrill's Studies in Intellectual History$v281/28. 606 $aHieroglyphics$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aEmblems$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aArt, Renaissance$xThemes, motives 606 $aPrinters' marks 606 $aArt, Renaissance$xThemes, motives$2fast 606 $aEmblems$2fast 606 $aHieroglyphics$2fast 606 $aPrinters' marks$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHieroglyphics$xHistory 615 0$aEmblems$xHistory 615 0$aArt, Renaissance$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aPrinters' marks. 615 7$aArt, Renaissance$xThemes, motives. 615 7$aEmblems. 615 7$aHieroglyphics. 615 7$aPrinters' marks. 676 $a709.02/4 700 $aVolkmann$b Ludwig$f1870-1947.$0964791 701 $aRaybould$b Robin$0964792 701 $aVolkmann$b Ludwig$f1870-1947.$0964791 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480001603321 996 $aHieroglyph, emblem, and Renaissance pictography$92188954 997 $aUNINA
