The Jesuits produced
more books on the topic of emblem studies than did any other identifiable group
of writers, comprising a vast spectrum of subject matter with a wide diversity
of structure and creating an enormous impact on seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century culture. In his new book Studies
in the Jesuit Emblem, G. Richard Dimler has gathered together selections
from his past studies in Jesuit emblems, spanning some 25 years. His revised
articles incorporate a wide array of topics including, among others, the state
of our knowledge of the Jesuit emblem book, Jesuit emblem theory, the genesis and
the rise of the Jesuit Emblem, Jesuit reaction to Andrea Alciato, the Imago Primi Saeculi, Edmund Arwaker’s
translation of the Pia Desideria, as
well as some specific Jesuit themes such as the bee-topos and the egg. Also
included in the book are hitherto unpublished essays on Herman Hugo, the
evolution of an Ignatian emblem book, and a taxonomical inquiry into the
eighteenth-century Jesuit emblem.
