4. The Emblemata of Andrea Alciato. Critical Edition

Antonio Bernat Vistarini and Tamás Sajó
Presentation by Alison Adams

THE ORIGINAL BOOK by Andrea Alciato enjoyed more than 150 editions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and established itself as one of the few works influential throughout Europe, in countries both of the Reformation and of the Counter-Reformation. It gave rise to an abundant series of annotations and commentaries in which each of the scholiasts put his erudition to the test.

With the inclusion of all important editions, from the editio princeps (Augsburg 1531) until the last important one, which appeared in the eighteenth century (Madrid 1749), we have here the history of this little jewel. With this CD we can see with great exactitude the life of each one of the emblems and each family of engravings, their recastings, additions and suppressions:

• all editions that add new emblems to the collection, or appear with a new ordering of the engravings;
• the first edition of each translation (three French, two German, two Italian and one Spanish);
• all editions with commentary: Aneau 1549, Stockhamer 1556, Sánchez de las Brozas 1573, Mignault 1571 and 1584, Diego López 1615 and 1655, Pignoria 1618, Capaccio 1620 and Thuilius 1621;
• our annotation with the comparison of textual variants, the determination of sources (linked always to other CDs by Studiolum) and the critical comparison with 30 other editions of the Emblematum liber
• finally, we complete the CD with Geoffrey Whitney’s work, Choice of Emblemes (1586) – for all intents and purposes the first edition of Alciato in English – and Henry Green’s monographical study (1872) on the life of Alciato, with his bibliography of 179 editions of the Emblemata.

In preparation.
