Most scholars and students working on any aspect of emblem studies will
have read the earlier authorities on the subject. Not that all readers are likely to
agree on a list of authorities. Most of us know an emblem when we see one. But
this does not mean that it is easy to discuss what might be called the genre of
the emblem. At least one modern scholar1 who does know emblems considers
the question “What is an emblem?” to be a non-question, although certain early
modern Jesuits appear to have less diculty with the question. However, it is
true that looking back today over the centuries in which emblems have enriched
both the print and material cultures, there are far more examples than were
present in the early modern period.
