Emblems, Divine and Moral: The School of the Heart and Hieroglyphics of the Life of Man (1866)

Francis Quarles,Christopher Harvey

Emblems, Divine and Moral: The School of the Heart and Hieroglyphics of the Life of Man is a book written by Francis Quarles and originally published in 1866. The book is a collection of emblems, which are symbolic illustrations that combine imagery and text to convey moral and religious messages. These emblems are divided into two categories: divine and moral. The divine emblems focus on religious themes, while the moral emblems deal with ethical and moral issues.The book is also known for its use of hieroglyphics, which are symbolic representations of objects or concepts. These hieroglyphics are used to further illustrate the messages conveyed by the emblems. The book is meant to be a guide for readers to understand the deeper meanings behind these symbols and to help them develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.Quarles was a 17th-century English poet and writer who was known for his religious and moral works. Emblems, Divine and Moral is considered one of his most important works and has been widely read and studied for centuries. The book is a fascinating look at the use of symbolism in literature and the ways in which it can be used to convey complex ideas and messages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
