	Alciato and his Book of Emblems
		Andrea Alciato (or Alciati), the celebrated legal scholar, was born in Alzata near Milan in 1492.
		Alciato's earliest mention of his emblem book is in a letter to Francesco Giulio Calvi, a bookseller, 9 January 1523.

	Emblemata - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Produced by the publisher Heinrich Steyner, the unauthorized first print edition was compiled from a manuscript of Latin poems which the Italian jurist Andrea Alciato had dedicated to his friend Conrad Peutinger and circulated to his acquaintances.
		The word "emblemata" is simply the plural of the Greek word "emblema", meaning a piece of inlay or mosaic, or an ornament: in his preface to Peutinger, Alciato describes his emblems as a learned recreation, a pastime for humanists steeped in classical culture.
		Alciato's work spawned thousands of imitations in all the European vernacular languages: secular, religious, or amorous in nature, emblem books were an integral part of European culture for two centuries.

		The form's invention is attributed to Andrea Alciato, a jurisconsult from Milan whose best known work began as a simple collection of translated Greek epigrams.
		Alciato, as a distraction from his labors as a jurist, continued to write epigrams that had an exemplary intention and were of a markedly visual nature, introduced by lapidary inscriptions recalling the Adagia of Erasmus.
		A collection of 105 of these compositions, which Alciato had dedicated and given to his friend Conrado Peutinger, was published in Augsburg, apparently without Alciatos's knowledge, by the printer Steiner in 1531, with the title Emblematum Liber.

	Tarot and Emblems
		Alciato was influenced by the Planudean Greek Anthology and created a book of 212 Latin emblem poems; each containing a motto, an image and some text.
		Andrea Alciato's Emblematum liber or Book of Emblems was first published in 1531.
		While browsing around through the Alciato site, some of the emblem images reminded me of quite a few Tarot cards and I thought it might prove to be entertaining, if not interesting, to compare some of them here.

	RMDS Collections
		An Italian lawyer, Andrea Alciato, is regarded as the father of emblem books.
		Alciato (and subsequent Emblem book writers) drew themes and figures from the classical tradition, in particular from the Greek Anthology, form Aesop’s Fables and from the Adages.
		The inspiration behind the emblem format as well as its appeal are also related to the humanist interest in Egyptian hieroglyphs and the concept of a pictorial form communication, directly linking symbol and concept, providing a concrete embodiment of ideas that escapes the corruption of language.

		Alciato's book marked the beginning of an intense enthusiasm for emblem literature lasting several centuries.[2] Scholarly interest in emblem studies in general[3] and Alciato's emblems in particular has been sustained in modern scholarship.
		Alciato's emblems acquired voluminous commentaries early on: readers began to group emblems into larger thematic structures very early in their tradition, and certain emblems were recognized as commonplaces, which authors then borrowed from each other.
		Whether it is Homer in a printed book, or Alciato on the screen, we must recognize that the text has been transformed, and that as a result of this transformation, the game of reading proceeds by different rules.

	Renaissance Interpreters Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The renowned humanist Guillaume Budé proposed an interpretation of a key term in a problematic passage from Justinian's Digest which sparked interpretations by the Italian humanist jurist Andrea Alciato, and the French jurist Pierre de l'Estoile (best known as law professor of the future Protestant reformer Jean Calvin).
		The debate, in which Calvin was a minor participant, reveals clearly how each drew upon hermeneutic principles and assumptions derived from rhetorical and scholastic culture, principles they sometimes explicitly discussed.
		By considering attitudes toward language, linguistic and historical change, this study enables us to distinguish scholastic interpretive assumptions, of which Estoile was a major practitioner, from humanist ones.

		THE ORIGINAL BOOK by Andrea Alciato enjoyed more than 150 editions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and established itself as one of the few works influential throughout Europe, in countries both of the Reformation and of the Counter-Reformation.
		It gave rise to an abundant series of annotations and commentaries in which each of the scholiasts put his erudition to the test.
