Emblems And Epigrams, A.D. 1600

Emblems and Epigrams, A.D. 1600 is a collection of poems and illustrations by Francis Thynne. The book is divided into two parts: the first part contains a series of emblems, which are symbolic images accompanied by a motto and a short poem. The emblems are meant to convey moral or philosophical messages, and often use classical mythology as their inspiration. The second part of the book contains a series of epigrams, which are short, witty poems that often satirize social or political issues of the time. Thynne's writing is characterized by its wit, clever wordplay, and cultural references. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the literary and artistic culture of early modern England, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of poetry and art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
