Kreihing, Emblemata Ethico-Politica (Antwerp, 1661)","description":"With its 160 emblems this book is a veritable catalogue of mid-seventeenth life and morality. Its title advertises the book's \"social-political\" concern with civic morality, and embraces the whole of society from kings to beggars. The scope of this emblem book, written by a Dutch Jesuit working in Germany, is impressive. The major themes are religious faith, God, eternity, kingly conduct, war, victory, courtly life, advice to rulers, education, virtue, moderation, conscience, self-knowledge, modesty and chastity. He also treats bourgeois life and values, transience, folly, chance, vanity and satires on women. In fact, Kreihing has something to say about almost everything: gambling, gossip, gluttony, prostitution, suicide, pick-pockets, dress codes, cosmetics, nude bathing, bribery, female treachery, illicit love and taxation. The full introduction is followed by an alphabetical list of Kreihing's mottoes with their English translations. A second index lists the key motifs in the emblem pictures With its 160 emblems this book is a veritable catalogue of mid-seventeenth century life and morality, advertising 'social-political' concern with civic morality, and embraces the whole of society from kings to beggars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gr Dimler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2503507751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782503507750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brepols Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Gr Dimler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48459676811519,"sku":"9782503507750","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f6f3132-7d95-442e-a842-c98b650499fa.jpg?v=1777411205","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/j-kreihing-emblemata-ethico-politica-antwerp-gr-dimler-9782503507750","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
