Reseña del editor:
Achille Bocchi and the Emblem Book as Symbolic Form is an introductory study of the Symbolicae Quaestiones, published in Bologna in 1555, in which Elizabeth See Watson argues that the context of the Symbolicae Quaestiones reflects the intellectual and cultural currents of the university and the literary academies rather than the hidden heresies of the sixteenth century. In order to make Bocchi's work more accessible to readers, the first part of the book provides a biographical context. The second part explores poetic theory and the symbol in the development of Bocchi's symbols, then examines the rhetorical strategy of paradox and the symbolism of mythology in the way they shape the content of the work. Bocchi fashioned his symbols, each one an emblematic unit of poem, engraving, and motto, from a mix of classical and post-classical myth, symbol, and fable and from allusions to his contemporaries. The iconography of these emblematic units and of the closely related facade design for Bocchi's palazzo, serves as a programmatic statement for Bocchi's interrelated projects.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: VG/VG. Black cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; color illustrated dust jacket, white lettering on black spine; bw illustrated frontispiece; x, 299 pp; bw illustrations. " Achille Bocchi and the Emblem Book as Symbolic Form examines the life and work (the Symbolicae Quaestiones) of one of the sixteenth century's greatest intellectuals. Esteemed by his contemporaries, Achille Bocchi was a renowned poet, teacher of rhetoric, local historian, publisher, and founder of a literary academy in Bologna. Part I of this study establishes the life of and intellectual context for Bocchi, who is here presented as a participant in the debates at the academy and university and as an individual whose views were shaped by the syncretic philosophical currents of his time. No evidence supports the widely held view that Bocchi concealed heretical leanings in his writings. Part II explores poetic theory and the role of the symbol in the development of Bocchi's symbola and also examines the rhetorical strategies of paradox and the symbolism of mythology as they shape the content of his work. The iconography of the emblematic units of poem, engraving, and motto in the Symbolicae Quaestiones and the related facade design for Bocchi's palazzo are revealed to be a programmatic statement of Bocchi's interrelated project, all of which were informed by the intellectual and cultural themes of his day."- dust jacket. Contents include: pt. 1. Achille Bocchi: A Life in Its Context. 1. The Early Years. 2. The Quiet Years: Bocchi's Religion and Philosophy. 3. The Scholar's Utopia: Bocchi's Projected Vision -- pt. 2.
