Il s'agit d'une étude originale sur les livres d'emblèmes français du XVIe siècle : Alison Saunders met surtout en valeur l'aspect vécu et quotidien de l'emblème. Elle analyse la conception de celui-ci, et le rôle qu'y jouaient le poète et l'imprimeur. Puis elle s'attache à son utilité sociale : là, elle constate une remarquable diversité : l'emblème français pouvait être une pure création intellectuelle, mais aussi une source d'information, et souvent il inspirait même une leçon morale. Avant tout un objet didactique, il était aussi largement emprunté par l'artisan, revenait en motif dans les broderies et prenait une importance extraordinaire dans les grandes parades, les spectacles et les entrées triomphales.

This study comprises the proceedings of a conference held in St Andrews in 1999 which gathered some of the most distinguished historians of the French book. It presents the 16th-century book in a new context and provides the first comprehensive view of this absorbing field. Four major themes are reflected here: the relationship between the manuscript tradition and the printed book; an exploration of the variety of genres that emerged in the 16th century and how they were used; a look at publishing and book-selling strategies and networks, and the ways in which the authorities tried to control these; and a discussion of the way in which confessional literature diverged and converged. The range of specialist knowledge embedded in this study will ensure its appeal to specialists in French history, scholars of the book and of 16th-century French literature, and historians of religion.

"This volume includes the late Elisabeth Stopp's previously unpublished study of La vie symbolique du bienheureux Francois de Sales (1664) of Adrien Gambart (1660-68), an introductory essay by Agnes Guiderdoni-Brusle that updates and supplements Stopp's work, and a facsimile of Gambart's emblem book. This book was inspired by the life and writings of St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622), and written for the Sisters of the Visitation monastery of Faubourg Saint-Jacques in Paris, where Gambart, a Vincentian priest, served as chaplain for over thirty years." "Stopp's study offers an English translation of the key observations made by Gambart about each of the fifty-two emblems, while the facsimile makes available Gambart's original French text. Moreover, the facsimile is reproduced in color in order to convey the tonal richness of the original emblems."--BOOK JACKET.
