Emblems--pictorial designs with accompanying mottoes and epigrams-- helped to shape virtually every form of verbal and visual communication in the West during the sixteenth and seventh centuries.

Recognizing the need for a large-scale systematic index to the emblem, the editor organized a symposium at McGill University to discuss the possibilities of preparing such an index. The resulting papers by six symposium participants--...
