    About this ebook

    This work is a valuable guide to Emblematic Illumination and supplies the reader with some specimens of emblematic letters suitable for particular texts, along with instructions for the mechanical part of the work. It mainly focuses on the emblematic branch of the subject. It emphasizes the importance of color selection which is a more difficult task than what is usually assumed. It is a perfect and complete handbook for some, just starting with symbolic illumination.
