Since its invention by Andrea Alciato, the emblem is inextricably
connected to the natural world. Alciato and his followers drew
massively their inspiration from it. For their information about
nature, the emblem authors were greatly indebted to ancient natural
history, the medieval bestiaries, and the 15th- and 16th-century
proto-emblematics, especially the imprese. The natural world became
the main topic of, for instance, Camerarius's botanical and
zoological emblem books, and also of the 'applied' emblematics in
drawings and decorative arts. Animal emblems are frequently quoted
by naturalists (Gesner, Aldrovandi). This interdisciplinary volume
aims to address these multiple connections between emblematics and
Natural History in the broader perspective of their underlying
ideologies - scientific, artistic, literary, political and/or
religious. Contributors: Alison Saunders, Anne Rolet, Marisa Bass,
Bernhard Schirg, Maren Biederbick, Sabine Kalff, Christian Peters,
Frederik Knegtel, Agnes Kusler, Aline Smeesters, Astrid Zenker,
Tobias Bulang, Sonja Schreiner, Paul Smith, and Karl Enenkel.
