Emblems Divine and Moral Together with Hieroglyphics of the Life of Man is a collection of allegorical and emblematic poetry by Francis Quarles, a 17th-century English poet. The book features a series of emblematic illustrations accompanied by moral and spiritual reflections, exploring themes such as the transience of life, the vanity of earthly pursuits, and the importance of faith and piety. The poems are written in a variety of forms, including sonnets, ballads, and epigrams, and draw on biblical and classical sources for their imagery and symbolism. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of human experience, such as love, death, and the afterlife. The illustrations, which were created by various artists, include intricate engravings and woodcuts that depict scenes from the Bible and everyday life, as well as symbolic figures and objects. Overall, Emblems Divine and Moral Together with Hieroglyphics of the Life of Man is a fascinating and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the religious and moral values of 17th-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
