1. Corpus of Spanish Emblem Books

Antonio Bernat Vistarini, John T. Cull and Tamás Sajó
Presentation by Peter M. Daly

EMBLEMATIC LITERATURE has proven itself in recent years to be an essential tool for understanding the cultural panorama of the Renaissance and Baroque. Its all-encompassing nature, embracing diverse kinds of knowledge and rhetorical procedures, makes it a vital instrument for understanding other literary genres, and, given its iconographic and symbolic richness, for understanding the plastic, architectural and ornamental arts as well. It is no exaggeration to assert that in Spain, as well as in the rest of Europe, Golden Age poetics cannot be properly defined if the emblems that we publish here are not taken into consideration.

With this CD, for the first time all of the emblem books produced by a European nation are available to a reader. That is to say, we offer the complete edition of this literary genre in Spain from its initial appearance in the first half of the sixteenth century until the end of the seventeenth: some 80 works, most of which have not been reprinted since then.

Following the same criteria of all our editions, the full text of the books has been scrupulously transcribed, and a series of program tools allow sophisticated searches. The texts are abundantly annotated, with the sources of the mottoes of the quotations. The emblem illustrations can be viewed along with their searchable iconographic descriptions, and we have translated all the mottoes and verse subscriptiones in Latin. Our edition is bilingual, so that the reader can choose to consult it in Spanish or English. More information on these aspects can be found in the section of Titles.

This first edition contains virtually all the emblem books written in Spanish or translated into Spanish – including polyglot editions – as well as the most important translations of these emblem books into other European languages. In addition, we include, as a special feature of this first edition, the monumental Emblemata regio-politica of Juan de Solórzano Pereira, which we consider, although it is written in Latin, a sine qua non of any attempt to analyze this bibliography. The translation of this work into Spanish (1658) will appear in the second edition.

Indeed, this CD will be followed by a second edition in December 2005, which will include all the emblem books of Spanish authors written in Latin. It will also contain books originally composed in other languages and subsequently translated into Spanish, and all the translations of Spanish emblem books into other languages. Finally, a series of other complementary titles closely related to these works will provide a true exhaustive overview of Spanish emblematics.
