		For Stuart mythographers such as Francis Bacon, as in the Renaissance emblem book tradition, Minerva, and by implication her "spear-shaking," were associated with doctrines of political circumspection-of the political theatre indulged in by monarchs to retain the loyalty of the populace.

		Emblem 80 was only restored to the sequence in the famous variorum edition of 1621.
		Often the emblems actually describe pictures or works of art (in the ecphrastic tradition of the Greek Anthology), so that the visual image is in a sense generated by the text itself.

	Blake and the Emblem Tradition
		Emblems, emblem books, and the emblematic mode of thought helped to shape virtually every form of verbal and visual communication in the Renaissance and Baroque Ages.
		It has been shown how Jesuit emblems of the Baroque age, adapted by Quarles and transmitted through his book to the early nineteenth century were absorbed into a revival movement of the graphic arts and contributed to a significant new emblem book by Thurston and Thomas that was also influenced by Blake.
		Emblems, hieroglyphics, Hebrew and classical antiquities, medieval illuminated manuscripts, Renaissance prints, paintings and sculptures, plates and title-pages of alchemistic books or Cabbalistic and Neoplatonic cosmogonies, antiquarian and architectural illustrations, eighteenth-century educational and religious books and Masonic symbols17 - they were all grist to his mill and left their traces and transformations in his Illuminated Books.

		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.
		Graham presents a double-criticism of the book format as it relates to emblem studies: it cannot be indexed by the individual reader, and it is extremely cumbersome and slow.
		However, the printed book's great success in fixing what has already been written in symmetrical lines of neatly-set type also distances readers from writers: as Paul Ricoeur puts it, "the book divides the act of reading and the act of writing into two sides, between which there is no communication" (146-7).

		For those who think that emblems and emblem lore are inherently fascinating subjects and must demand a fairly wide audience, the relative non-availability of this book is instructive, and depressing.
		Unfortunately, few emblem books in English have this kind of precise commentary, which in the Renaissance naturally appended itself to many of the books (the most extreme example is the swollen text of Alciato published in Padua in 1621).
		A significant part of Bateman's book is a series of images with moral interpretations, a relationship between text and image that seems mediated by the emblem method as much as by Protestant biblical commentary.

		I see what you mean here, and don't exactly disagree -- but since (as JK pointed out) "emblem book" itself refers to a very spcific genre, I think it might be worthwhile recasting your remark a bit to avoid getting tangled up in arguments about words & names.
		This genre consists of (a) a set of emblematic images [subject to various qualifications] and (b) a commentary that ties a (usually large) body of lore to those images and to their arrangement as a set.

		An emblem is something like a riddle, a "hieroglyph" in the Renaissance vocabulary -- what many readers considered to be a form of natural language." (From The English Emblem Book Project, Pennsylvania State University)
		In other words, you should understand the main point of the allegory, analyze the visual symbols that would help the reader understand the written text, and vice-versa, and ascertain if there are any hidden puns, or humor, or allusions that would draw the readers' attention.
		If there are words in the verse that you don't understand, I would suggest you look at the Oxford English Dictionary, in the UMD library's electronic resources This also is a good idea because the OED contains older uses of words and shows their evolution in meaning.

		Your 'arguments' on any of this can not be taken, period, since the relationship between image and text in emblem books is NOT that which we see between Thoth and the book written by Crowley as a basic guide to to the understanding of its symbolism.
		Therefore, the relationship between Thoth images and the text in 'Book of Thoth' is NOT exclusive or 'necessary' in the manner you are suggesting, nor does any of this explain why it would make the Thoth deck a set of 'emblems', in the sense of those used in emblem books.
		One can argue that 'emblems' were intended as mnemonic devices, but that purpose was considered as secondary to the main point, which was to instruct the viewer on whatever area of knowledge or beliefs the designer intended, while also, at the same time, providing an aesthetic experience of those ideas.

	Amorum emblemata
		The February 'book of the month' is a copy of the 1608 edition of Otto Van Veen's Amorum Emblemata, bought by the library in 1997 with support from the National Fund for Acquisitions, administered by the National Museums of Scotland.
		In producing a book of love emblems, Van Veen was following a trend which began in Amsterdam in 1601 with the publication of Quaeris quid sit Amor, a compilation of twenty-four love emblem prints produced by the artist Jacques de Gheyn with accompanying Dutch verses by Daniel Heinsius.
		Its title corresponds exactly to Van Veen's printed Italian title, while the last line of the poem refers to the emblem; as Grove explains, 'although the poem has the external context of the 'je' persona, the last two lines clarify the play between the poem's specific situation and the emblem's general import.

		The earliest and most important emblem book is the Emblematum liber (Augsburg, 1531) by ANDREA ALCIATI.
