Emblems—pictorial designs with accompanying mottoes and epigrams— helped to shape virtually every form of verbal and visual communication in the West during the sixteenth and seventh centuries. A recent re-awakening of scholarly interest in the emblem has brought to light the difficulty of locating and consulting the unorganized mass of available material. Recognizing the need for a large-scale systematic index to the emblem, the editor organized a symposium at McGill University to discuss the possibilities of preparing such an index. The resulting papers by six symposium participants— Barbara Becker-Cantarino, Peter M. Daly, Peter Erb, G. Richard Dimler, Lorelei Robins, and Alan Young—contribute to our knowledge of the emblems of Peacham and Corrozet, the Dutch love emblems, the Jesuit emblem, and emblems used in books of mediation. The essays also discuss the problems and procedures involved in preparing an Index Emblematicus, a work which would serve scholars working in the fields of literature, art, culture, religion, history, and the languages. The volume is richly illustrated with over forty emblem reproductions.

Why Jesuit emblems? The Society of Jesus produced more books inthis genre than did any other identifiable group of writers andpublished in all major European vernacular languages as well as inLatin. Jeremiah Drexel, for example, was the most prolific and mostpublished writer in Europe in the seventeenth century. He wrote morethan twelve emblem books and each was translated and reissued innumerous later editions. Between 1618 and 1642, 170,000 of Drexel'sbooks were sold in Munich alone - then a city of 22,000 inhabitants.Father Dimler, Research Professor of Emblem Studies at FordhamUniversity, has assembled every known study on Jesuit emblembooks and their authors. His bibliography includes both books writtenby individual Jesuits as well as those produced by Jesuit colleges andinstitutions.
