In the history of Western symbolism, the emblematic sign forms a bridge between late medieval allegory and the Romantic metaphor. These intricate combinations of picture and text, where the picture completes the ellipses of an epigrammatic text, and where the text fixes the intention of the pictured signs, provide useful clues to the way pictures in general were read and textual descriptions visualized in early modern Europe.Daniel Russell demonstrates how the emblematic forms emerged from the way illustrations were used in late medieval French manuscript culture, how the forms were later disseminated in France, and how they functioned within early modern French culture and society. He also attempts to show how the guiding principles behind the composition of emblems influenced the production of courtly decoration, ceremony, and propaganda, as well as the composition of literary texts as different as Maurice Sc¦ve's Delie, Montaigne's Essais, and Du Bartas's Sepmaine. 410 0$aUniversity of Toronto romance series ;$v71. 606 $aEmblems$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aEmblem books, French$xHistory 607 $aFrance$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmblems$xHistory. 615 0$aEmblem books, French$xHistory. 676 $a704.9/46/0944 700 $aRussell$b Daniel S.$01102388 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808430403321 996 $aEmblematic structures in Renaissance French culture$94103355 997 $aUNINA
