Abstract

The goal of this edition of the 1608 Amorum Emblemata of Otto Van Veen (Vaenius) is to provide commentary on each emblem. The sources for mottoes, epigrams, and pictures have been identified as specifically as possible. Pictorial and literary analogues have been indicated, as has material which is analogous in sentiment to the various emblems. Translations have been provided, obscurities explained, and oddities clarified where possible. Biographies of the author and translator are included, as are comments on the book's contents, thematic structure and bibliographical context. The edition is indexed alphabetically by mottoes, sources cited by Vaenius, and motifs.
