Volkmann enumerates and describes many of the works which illustrated the contemporary obsession with hieroglyph, emblem and device, particularly those from France and Germany, thus complementing Karl Giehlow's earlier \u003ci\u003eHieroglyphenkunde\u003c\/i\u003e on the subject. Volkmann's book highlights both Renaissance theories of the image as language and the symbol as an aid to an understanding of the meaning of life and the nature of God. \u003cbr\u003eRaybould's translation has been described as elegant, admirable and impeccable and includes an introduction, extensive notes and several additional essays on topics relevant to the field. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ludwig Volkmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900436093X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004360938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Ludwig Volkmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075253399807,"sku":"9789004360938","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b13a51d-9c5b-4b3b-aee2-ee148c31769f.jpg?v=1685458482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hieroglyph-emblem-and-renaissance-pictography-volkmann-9789004360938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
