The Emblem Theory and Practice of Bohuslav Balbín, S.J
Original language description
The Czech Jesuit Bohuslav Balbín (Bohuslaus Balbinus, 1621?1688) is known to emblem scholars mainly as a writer who coined two often-quoted dicta about emblematics, both originating in his Verisimilia humanorum disciplinarum (Prague, 1666). Less familiaris the fact that these sayings come from a chapter entitled "De emblemate et symbolis" which represents a significant but so far largely neglected contribution towards the theory and practice of emblematics. In the first part of this essay, the chapterin question is analyzed in detail and related to its (mostly) Jesuit sources. In the second part several of Balbín´s own emblematic inventions are discussed in relation to both his writings and the emblem tradition.
