Gotthold's Emblems is a book written by Christian Scriver that explores the concept of invisible things being understood by things that are made, using the emblems of Gotthold as a guide. Gotthold is a fictional character who represents the author's ideal Christian, and his emblems are symbolic representations of spiritual truths. The book is divided into three parts, each consisting of a series of emblems that illustrate different aspects of Christian life and faith. Part one focuses on the nature of God and the importance of faith, part two explores the Christian's relationship with the world and the importance of humility, and part three delves into the Christian's relationship with themselves and the importance of self-examination. The emblems are accompanied by explanatory text that provides insight into their meaning and relevance to the Christian life. Overall, Gotthold's Emblems is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that offers a unique perspective on the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

American public, the publishers feel assured it will receive a cordial welcome from Christian readers. It is, indeed, a matter of surprise, that a work of such preeminent merit should have circulated in German homes for nearly two centuries, without finding an English translator. I ts popularity in Germany, on its first appearance, was not inferior to that of the best productions of Luther, in the previous century. More than twenty editions were rapidly issued, to meet the eager demand; and when at length it had fallen into a temporary oblivion, the extraordinary value attached to stray copies by the families in which they were heir-looms, made it difficult for an editor to obtain a single copy, even for use in preparing a new edition. The publishers are not aware that any work of its precise character is to be found in the English language, and they feel assured it will supply an important defect in our devotional literature.
