Learned Love.Proceedings of the Emblem Project Utrecht Conference The emblem is a wonderful invention of the Renais- Learned Love sance. The funny, mysterious, moralizing, learned or pious combinations of word and image in the Learned Love crossover emblematic genre can be characterized as a delicate network of motifs and mottoes. This network served as a receptacle for the traditions of the European visual and literary arts. In its turn it Proceedings of the Emblem Project Utrecht Conference on influenced architecture, painting, love poetry, chil- dren’s books, preaching and interior decoration. Dutch Love Emblems and the Internet (November 2006) Together emblem books and the culture to which they belong form a web of closely interre- lated references. It is surely no coincidence that digitised emblem books are popular items on what may be their modern counterpart: the World Wide Web. In 2003 the Emblem Project Utrecht set out to digitise 25 representative Dutch love emblem books. The love emblem is one of the best known emblem- atic subgenres, first developed in the Low Countries and soon popular all over Europe. To celebrate the completion of the work done by the Emblem Project Utrecht, a conference was held on November 6 and 7, 2006. The focus of this con- ference was twofold: the Dutch love emblem and the process of digitising the emblems. This volume contains the selected papers of this conference, com- plemented by a general introduction and additional papers by the editors.

On those two days, scholars from multiple disciplines and countries gathered to discuss Dutch love emblems books, their digitisation in the Emblem Project Utrecht, and its connection with other emblem digitisation efforts. The conferen- ce’s title, Learned Love, referred to the motto of emblem 23 in one of those emblem books, first published in 1613: Daniel Heinsius’s Ambacht van Cupido (Trade of Cupid). As it turned out, not only this motto but also the beginning of the sub- scriptio of this emblem 23 proved to be applicable to the conference: ‘He who pos- sesses knowledge, flies over all countries’ (Fig. 1).1 Studying the Dutch love emblem in the context of emblem digitisation requires knowledge from disciplines such as art history, editorial science, information sci- ence, literary studies, theology and history. This volume mirrors the diversity of disciplines. Part I is dedicated to the study of the (digitised) Dutch love emblem; Part II to the study of emblem digitisation. This introduction first discusses the goals of the Emblem Project Utrecht and its results, and then summarizes the spe- cific contributions to the study of the Dutch love emblem and emblem digitisation in this volume. The two goals of the Emblem Project Utrecht In recent years, scholars from all over the world have recognized the value of in- formation technology for the study of the emblematic tradition. Due to the typi- cal constraint of the emblematic genre (best described as a web of citations, imi- tations and adaptations from pictorial as well as textual sources) emblem studies are partly comparative in nature. Before the digital era, emblem studies were un- dertaken with scholarly reprints, and indexes – such as the iconographical index of Arthur Henkel en Albrecht Schöne’s Emblemata. Handbuch zur Sinnbildkunst des XVI. und XVII. Jahrhunderts and Peter Daly’s Index emblematicus. However useful, the reprints and indexes were not as flexible as one might wish. To find -an swers to questions of origin and influence in the literary and pictorial (and some- times musical) motifs and elements of emblems, we need some of the benefits of recent IT-techniques. 1 ‘Die wetenschap besit, vliecht over alle landen’ Els Stronks and Peter Boot 1 Fig. 1: D. Heinsius, ‘Amor eruditus’ [Learned love], emblem 23 of Ambacht van Cupido: in Nederduytsche poemata 1616 (EPU site). In line with these efforts, the Emblem Project Utrecht (EPU) was created in 2002. The Netherlands Organisation of Scientific Research (NWO) funded it from 2003 to 2006. The project aimed to publish an Internet site with scholarly and searchable editions of Dutch emblem books. Through these editions, the project hoped to stimulate research in the field of the Dutch love emblem as well as to in- vestigate and test the application of recent IT-developments in emblem digitisa- tion. In general, how successful has EPU been in producing an Internet site with advanced digital resources? In November 2006, the EPU launched a site with 26 digital editions of Dutch love emblem books at http://emblems.let.uu.nl. The site includes a bibliography referring to literature relevant to the Dutch love emblem, editorial introductions as well as search indexes, concordances and references to parallels and sources. The editions may be searched through a variety of means. The global search page allows selection by pictorial motifs/elements and other in- dexes. The tables of contents allow selection by motto, concordances allow selec- tion by individual words, and the bibliography cross-references all places in the EPU editions that refer to a given bibliographical item. From the first, unofficial launch of the EPU site in 2003, the number of visitors has been growing regularly, adding up to a total of approximately 145,000 hits in the year 2006. A third of these visitors log in from the Netherlands, a tenth from the United States and Belgium. But it is not only numbers that tell us how widely the EPU site is known. Based on 2 The Dutch love emblem on the Internet: an ntroducton the emails with requests and questions we get on a daily basis, it is clear scholars as well as visitors with other interests and backgrounds are using the EPU site in a fruitful manner. Publications that specifically record their use of the EPU site in- clude Peil 2004 and Peil 2005. As a further indication of the impact of the EPU site, we include in this volume a paper on wall paintings in a French castle, the owner of which contacted us shortly after the conference was over. Searching on the Inter- net, she had found out for herself that Heinsius’s Emblemata amatoria must have been the source for these wall paintings. Needless to say she would probably never have managed to do so if the EPU corpus was not digitised.

  • What Is an Emblem Book
    A brief introduction to the Stirling Maxwell Collection of Emblem Books at the University of Glasgow. David Weston April 2011 The last forty years have witnessed an increasing interest in emblem literature as a potential key to a fuller understanding of the Renaissance and Baroque mind. At an early stage in this development the importance of the collection of emblem books formed in the 19th century by Sir William Stirling Maxwell was recognised as a major resource for anyone pursuing research in this area. With some 1200 emblem books in the collection in 1958, it proved an invaluable source of information to Mario Praz in the production of his Studies in seventeenth century imagery, especially the bibliography, where he frequently refers to copies seen at Nether Pollok, the country house of the Maxwell family now within the boundaries of Glasgow. Since then few works published in emblematics fail to mention the Stirling Maxwell Collection and frequently they are illustrated with prints taken from copies in the collection. Sir William Stirling Maxwell, writer on Spanish art and history, a discerning and tireless collector of paintings, books and porcelain, a poet, politician, distinguished public figure, and last but not least, a breeder of short-horn cattle and Clydesdale horses, was without doubt a most remarkable figure. Born on the 8th of March, 1818, into the ancient Scottish family of Stirling, plain William Stirling as he was then, was educated privately in Buckinghamshire and later at Trinity College Cambridge. As the only son of Archibald Stirling of Keir, he inherited his father's estates in 1847, and subsequently, on the death of his uncle Sir John Maxwell of Pollok, he inherited the title, acquiring the additional name of Maxwell.

  • Literature of the Low Countries
    Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

  • THE EARLY MODERN BOOK AS SPECTACLE by PAULINE
    THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY: THE EARLY MODERN BOOK AS SPECTACLE by PAULINE E. REID (Under the Direction of Sujata Iyengar) ABSTRACT This dissertation approaches the print book as an epistemologically troubled new media in early modern English culture. I look at the visual interface of emblem books, almanacs, book maps, rhetorical tracts, and commonplace books as a lens for both phenomenological and political crises in the era. At the same historical moment that print expanded as a technology, competing concepts of sight took on a new cultural prominence. Vision became both a political tool and a religious controversy. The relationship between sight and perception in prominent classical sources had already been troubled: a projective model of vision, derived from Plato and Democritus, privileged interior, subjective vision, whereas the receptive model of Aristotle characterized sight as a sensory perception of external objects. The empirical model that assumes a less troubled relationship between sight and perception slowly advanced, while popular literature of the era portrayed vision as potentially deceptive, even diabolical. I argue that early print books actively respond to these visual controversies in their layout and design. Further, the act of interpreting different images, texts, and paratexts lends itself to an oscillation of the reading eye between the book’s different, partial components and its more holistic message. This tension between part and whole appears throughout these books’ technical apparatus and ideological concerns; this tension also echoes the conflict between unity and fragmentation in early modern English national politics. Sight, politics, and the reading process interact to construct the early English print book’s formal aspects and to pull these formal components apart in a process of biblioclasm.

Erickson This thesis explores the growing interaction between England and foreign countries comparing their trade with contemporary later sixteenth century and seventeenth century English emblems. The emblems used are those available over the internet from several different library and university sources. As England expanded its trade throughout the world, English emblems began to show the exchange occurring between England and its various trading partners.

  • The Library, 7.1.4, December Zooo 453 Conclusions Regarding the Venetian Music Printing Business Are Impressive
    The Library, 7.1.4, December zooo 453 conclusions regarding the Venetian music printing business are impressive. This book proves to be complementary to the existing works in the field and is thoroughly deserving of a place on the shelf beside them. Oxford MARTIN HOLMES Charta of Greek Printing: The Contribution of Greek Editors, Printers and Publishers Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/library/article/1/4/453/943484 by guest on 01 October 2021 to the Renaissance in Italy and the West. Vol. I: Fifteenth Century. By KONSTANTINOS SP. STAIKOS. Cologne: Jiirgen Dinter. 1998. lxix + 557 pp. + 128 illus., one folding map. 500 DM. ISBN 3 924794 19 7. THIS IS A VERY LARGE, very handsome, and very expensive book. It is also infuriating: so much effort expended to produce a guide (a map, in the word of the title) that can do nothing but mislead the unwary, perpetuate old errors, and start new ones. It is not about the printing of Greek, but as the subtitle puts it, 'The Contribution of Greek Editors, Printers and Publishers to the Renaissance in Italy and the West'. It is thus a long essay in Renaissance cultural history from a strictly Hellenic perspective. There are many faults with Staikos's lists. Practically everyone who knew Greek in Quattrocento Italy is said to be a pupil of Chrysoloras (d. 1415), including Nicholas V, who was born the year that Chrysoloras started his short stint of teaching in Florence (p. 70). Throughout chapter 1, Staikos wobbles between Johannes and Vindelinus de Spira as prototypographer of Venice, an honour accorded to Nicolas Jenson in the index.

  • Emblem Books and the Age of Symbolism
    8. The Renaissance The two defining achievements of the Renaissance, the revival of classic- ism and the invention of the printing press assured the simultaneous tri- umph and demise of the age of symbolism. On the one hand, scholars were faced with the recovery of a complete literary and artistic culture which in spite of its historical and aesthetic attractions knew nothing of Christian orthodoxy. Undaunted, these scholars reacted by attempting to reconcile the two traditions, classical and Christian, and to integrate them into one coherent system, one effect of which was to reinforce and per- petuate the culture of symbolism. At the same time, printing enabled the widespread dissemination of the literature of symbolism including the new genres of emblem and device. By the end of the 17th century tens of thousands of these books had been sold and hundreds of thousands of emblems, devices and enigmas as well as other genres had been com- posed, read and deciphered and their symbolism contemplated and ab- sorbed. But the same benefits of printing applied to the nascent scientific revolution. The rapid spread of knowledge, the sharing of information, the loosening of the censorship of the Church slowly but inexorably brought about the triumph of empiricism. 209 · Recovery of the Ancient Texts · The politics of Europe at the end of the Middle Ages had been dominat- ed by the centuries long struggle between the Papacy and the Holy Ro- man Empire for control of the Church, finally ending with victory for the Popes. It was natural that after relative political stability had been achieved by the formation of self-contained city-states, the Renaissance should begin in Italy.

They exist on a continuum between the traditional book (the codex) and book objects that resemble sculptures. There is no general agreement about when artists’ books first appeared; depending on who is asked, it was either in the early decades of the twentieth century or sometime in the 1960s. Nor is there any consensus about what constitutes an artist’s book: it is perhaps a traditional book reimagined, a sculpture, a painter’s portfolio, a coffee table book, a book of photographs, a novelty item, a work of art in book form, or some combination of the above.
