Mara R. Wade assumes the role as Managing Editor, and Valérie Hayaert serves as Book Review Editor. To have reached this point is a milestone in which several colleagues have been involved, and both Valérie Hayaert and I wish to thank our im- mediate predecessors, David Graham and Michael Bath, for their unfail- ing support and generosity as we adjusted to our new roles and worked to prepare our first volume. Our work on Volume 22, as well as the ease of the transition process, profited greatly from their professional advice and guid- ance. We also wish to thank the Founding Editors, Daniel Russell and Peter Daly, without whose vision the journal would not have reached volumes numbering in the twenties. We would like to thank the immediate past managing editor, Professor David Graham, Emeritus, Concordia University, Montreal, for crafting a well-paced succession plan and preparing the transition. David’s patience ensured a smooth transfer for the editorship of the present volume, and he continued to advise and help wherever he could as this volume approached publication. Both David Graham and Michael Bath have been stalwart advocates of Emblem Studies since the journal’s inception. As the outgoing book review editor, Professor Michael Bath, Emeritus, University of Strathclyde, and Senior Research Fellow, University of Glasgow, has been, as ever so, the congenial spirit who helps to identify both books to be reviewed and scholars to review them. He has been instrumental every step of the way. Therefore, we consider it a particular honor that both David Graham and Michael Bath have agreed to publish in this volume of Emblematica their keynote lectures from the Tenth International Conference of the Soci- ety for Emblem Studies in 2014. Their plenary lectures established in many respects the framework of the conference, much as they form the open- ing and closing frame of this volume.

The cordial environment of the Kiel conference provided all participants the opportunity for scholarly ex- change, and allowed the authors featured here to deepen and expand the arguments for presentation in article form. We wish to extend our profuse thanks to Professor Ingrid Höpel, Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel, who organized and hosted the conference. It is an honor and a pleasure to have worked with David and Mike over the years, and we are especially pleased that their scholarly contributions comprise the first and final papers in this issue. Both authors have produced insightful new research that builds upon a lifetime of scholarly inquiry, and thus it is appropriate that we honor their efforts here. David Gra- ham’s wide-ranging contribution, “‘Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts’: Lessons from the History of Emblem Studies,” takes stock of the discipline’s accomplishments in the past decades and offers suggestions as the field moves forward. Here he builds on an established trajectory of periodic assessments of the discipline, including, among several others, “Three Phases of Emblem Digitization: The FirstT wenty Years, The Next Five”1 and “‘Corpus Electronicum Cano’: Some Implications of Very Large Electronic Emblem Corpora.”2 He is well placed to summarize and assess the progress of the discipline, and his advice will no doubt be invaluable as Emblem Studies advance. Michael Bath’s insightful article, “Books and Buildings: Recursive Emblems in the Applied Arts,” examines the emblematic decoration of three spaces in manor houses in Germany, England, and Scotland during the early modern period. This new research builds out from his published books, such as Renaissance Decorative Painting in Scotland, by incorporating a comparative dimension
