Emblems Divine and Moral Together with Hieroglyphics of the Life of Man is a book written by Francis Quarles, a 17th-century English poet and writer. The book is a collection of emblems, which are symbolic images accompanied by verses or short texts that convey a moral or religious message. The emblems are divided into two parts: the first part contains emblems that are inspired by biblical themes and the second part contains emblems that focus on moral and ethical issues.In addition to the emblems, the book also includes hieroglyphics, which are symbolic representations of the stages of human life, from birth to death. The hieroglyphics are accompanied by verses that describe the various stages of life and the challenges that people face as they grow older.The book is considered to be a work of Christian devotional literature and was popular during the 17th century. It is written in a style that is both poetic and didactic, and the emblems and hieroglyphics are intended to help readers reflect on their own lives and spiritual journeys. Overall, Emblems Divine and Moral Together with Hieroglyphics of the Life of Man is a fascinating and thought-provoking work that offers insights into the religious and moral beliefs 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.
