Homeri, 1613. Title within ornamental border. This is an excellent medieval emblem book with authenic images. A medieval emblem book contains images and text that adapt very well to the computer. An emblem creates dialogue or tension between image and word. Frequently allegorical in theme, emblems were designed to engage, challenge, and instruct the audience. An emblem book represents a particular kind of reading. Unlike today, the eye is not intended to move rapidly from page to page. The emblem arrests the sense, leads into the text, both image and word, to the richness of its associations. An emblem is something like a riddle, a "hieroglyph" in the Renaissance vocabulary -- what many readers considered to be a form of natural language. Buy this and you will find the older form of text and graphics, the emblem book, synergistic and well-displayed within the newer form, the CDROM. The emblems display extremely well on the computer screen. CD-R is both Mac and Windows compatible. Includes convenient and complete thumbnail index of all pages, and ability to magnify and examine fine details. Unique gift!! FREE SHIPPING TO USA and CANADA.
