More Description

In general, Emblem books were a collection of allegorical illustrations (emblems) accompanied by explanatory text, often focusing on morals and occasionally in the form of poems. This category of books was popular in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries and appeared in multiple cultures. They were used by artisans, and architects, as subject for discourse both poetical and social, and provided a specialized type of blueprint to the importance of branding various social aspects. STRUCTUREEmblems generally are tripartitie, the superscriptio (an explanatory epigram), the pictura, and finally the motto - or - subscriptio (a verse or short essay below the picture). This book gives the motto-superscriptio in various groupings of German, French, Latin, and Italian. This magnificent book would be enhanced by a general translation should any of the readers choose to do so. In doing so remember that the reader would be deciphering versions of the languages at hand that were in use in 1699. Therefore not only would the language require translation, the nuance would also require the educated mind to keep this matter in mind when making such an effort to translate. SIGILS, and the SORCERY POINT OF VIEWFrom the point of view of someone who has made a life's work of Sorcery, utilizing sigils in an extensive way - I will be working through this book to provide sigils as they rise from the work through my observation of their relevance to the work, and to one another.There is a heavy hand in the illustrations in this book.They are not simple nor are they straight forward. They present as a comprehensive system, a line in a greater moment from history - if you will.... However, from my point of view as a competent Sorceress, they are much more than that. They are each vying for attention - calling out to the Divinator, the Sorcerer, the expert in Polarities, the Manipulator of outcomes, and the deconstructionist in all of us who have our hand in the workings of the Disicarnate and Daemons. They have a dark side, an edge of "hushing and shushing" us - asking us to remain silent while we scratch their surface, revealing them only through that which they can provide....It is an interesting dig...My eye like them...My unquenchable desire to find the right keys to the right doors craves concert with them... My common sense tells me that there must be a not-so-obvious reason why no one has re-published them......until now.... SORCERESS CAGLIASTRO.... Blood Sorceress, Necromancer in the hands of 9
