M. Daly when, not a long time ago, he proclaimed that all of us, who in a particular moment, had dealt with the emblematic genre, showed a lack of consideration towards the patient reader in defining ex nihilo the concept of emblem and specifying the meaning and properties of its constitutive elements (figura lemma, glossa and even commentarius), to prove that I have not read in vain, I insist, I will omit those trite definitions of emblem, lemma and all the remaining paraphernalia. And therefore, I become more faithful to Daly than he himself was because, as it is well-known, in spite of his suggestions, it was a lost long time before he was to commit such a sin (but peccata minuta: vid. P. M. DALY, (ed.), The European Emblem. Towards an Index Emblematicus, Waterloo, Ontario, pp. 1-3 and "The Poetic Emblem", Neophilologus, 54 (1970), pp. 381-397).Yet if a reader wonders what my idea of the matter is, I may say that the best of the old definitions I know is that of Aresi, as it is presented in Picinello s introductory Tractatus, although if there is an essential reading in a modem definition, that is the one of the excellent paper of Miedema on the concept of emblem in Alciati: H. MIEDEMA, "The Term Emblema in Alciati", Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, 31 (1968), pp. 234-250.Being evident from this recognition of principles that the emblematic genre is extremely complex and that it derives from the association, sometimes not very stable, of elements from diverse origin (hieroglyphics, heraldry, lemmata and sententiae, epigrams and aenigmata, and other esoteric subproducts of such a sort, or genuinely individual); being evident that the distinction between emblem and devise or impresa and so on, is in most cases very subtle, and, lastly, being evident that the dividing line among so many and so variegated components seems to be placed in the delimitation of a causa finita or a causa infinita in the manner of traditional rhetoric, whether the concept or idea involved has an individual or universal application and utility, I decided myself to look at a problem from an eminently philological viewpoint, which the eagerly expected Daly s Index Emblematicus (cf. "The Description of Emblems as the Basis of the Index Emblematicus", ibid. pp. 5-13 and "A Revised Format for the Index Emblematicus", ibid. pp. 137-144) does not try to solve: that of the lemmata (with or without attached emblem, like simple motti) isolated from their context, in the case of the emblems relevant to a Book of Emblems, or incomplete or, simply, not found. Daly s Index Emblematicus gathers, if its publisher s intentions end up succeeding, the key-words of the lemmata, but notthe whole amount of words that may appear in each lemma, so that, not only is it a hindrance to a philological approach for an emblematic lexicon but also not is only partial information offered: the key-words, in a publisher s opinion, might not be the appropriate ones for whom might be in front of a blurred canvas of any stanza or church. The problems that have to be faced by someone who works on a book of emblems are not the same as those faced by someone who is in front of an isolated inscription or a statue base.As I wanted to present the intention and utility of this Instrumentum Emblematicum, not only does it not interfere at all in the significance of Daly s Index Emblematicus, but it turns into something complementary, in the same way that the Handbuch of Henkel and Schöne does not prevent by any means the existence of Daly s huge project (and so does he state it in vol. I of his Index. P. M. DALY (ed.), & V. W. CALLAHAN, assisted by S. CUTTLER: Index Emblematicus, Andreas Alciatus. I The Latin Emblems, Indexes and Lists, University of Toronto Press, Toronto 1985, p. vii).I have taken into account all these qualifications, and I have decided to add to the corpus of lemmata those particular texts that Schöne in a masterly way perceives should be taken into consideration, in spite of their lacking the characteristic features of a lemma or a sententia and, in order to make it more conveniently simple, I will call them tituli. The classic of the genre is A. SCHÖNE, Emblematik und Drama in Zeitalter des Barock, München 1964; vid. the review of these principles in P. M. DALY, Emblem Theory. Recent German Contributions to the Characterization of the Emblem Genre, Wolfenbütteier Forschungen, 9, Nendeldn Liechtenstein 1979, pp. 26-27 and 29-30; also cf. H. STEGEMEIER, "Problems in Emblem Literature", Journal of English and German Philology 45 (1946), pp. 26-37 y W. HARMS, "Mundus imago Dei est. Zum Entstehungsprozess zweier Emblem Bücher Jean Jacques Boissards", Deutsche Vierteljahrsschrift für Literaturwissenschaft und Geistesgeschichte, 47 (1973), pp. 223-244 and, especially p. 224.A good example of this conscious attitude is the inclusion of a great deal of apparently loose words but that can be read within the context they appeared: thus Horapollo and Pierio Valeriano and some of the inscriptions of Tesauro as well. The reader will judge if I have done the right thing.As a matter of fact, what it may seem to us a string of loose and unharmoniou. Seller Inventory # 1187652
