This study reexamines the invention of the emblem book and
discusses the novel textual and pictorial means that applied to the
task of transmitting knowledge. It offers a fresh analysis of
Alciato's Emblematum liber, focusing on his poetics of the emblem,
and on how he actually construed emblems. It demonstrates that the
"father of emblematics" had vernacular forebears, most importantly
Johann von Schwarzenberg who composed two illustrated emblem books
between 1510 and 1520. The study sheds light on the early
development of the Latin emblem book 1531-1610, with special
emphasis on the invention of the emblematic commentary, on natural
history, and on advanced methods of conveying emblematic knowledge,
from Junius to Vaenius.
