Cxfar Ripa, an Italian, whd applied himfclf irif/j indefatigable Study to make a Colletion of the Figures of the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and to produce others ofhis otvn and other cdehrated Authors h this Science : Thefe Images are the Reprefcntatives of cur t^otions ; they properly belong to Painters, who by Colours and Shadowing^ have in-vented the admirable Secret to to give Body our Thoughts^ thereby to render them vifible. The Ancients were taken Images-, much with thofe witnefs fuch variety of paint inr their Gods, ly irhich t^y have fo ingenionflj concealed the Myjleries- of Nature and Fhilofophy, jea and of Divinity and Religion. This is that Source from whence Potts have drawn their Fables with their Explications ; for Example, by the Image of Saturn they repnfented Time, which devours its own Children ; that is to fay, Dayr, Months and Tears. By Thundring Jove, they ftgnified that Tart of the Heavens where thegreatejl part of the Meteors are form'd. By Venus they exprefsd the Union of the Materia Prima, with the Form ; from whence fprings the Beauty and FerfeBion of all created Beings, &c. The Invention ofthis Science is afcrib'd to the Egyptians, />^w jr^^^tv Pythagoras it part, brought from the farthefl ?hlo took the great efl part of his DoBrine from thofe Hieroglyphic Figures. The Prophets themfelves veil'd their facred Oracles with Enigma's : and our Saviour himfelfcomprisd mofi of his divine Myperies under Similitudes and-' Parables. Thefe Emblems are very properly under Figures, ftnce drawn human Man, being the meafure of all things, fo like- wife his exteriour Form ought to be lookt upon as the meafure ofthe ^alities of his Soul. Hcreycu will find abundance of Figures and' Emblems of every thing imaginable ; accompanied with curious and (olid Morals^ owing to very learned Authors. The under/landing Perufer of this Book will meet therein Ihings not the tut only to divert Mind, to in(lru5i it, and to infpire him with the Love of Virtue, and Hatred ofVice', and to regulate his Manners, Behaviour and Con- duct.
