Consolidating and adding to their work of several decades, Dimler and Daly explore emblems of the Society of Jesus in Europe. They cover the European emblem, the ratio studiorum, the Jesuit
theory of symbology, the major Jesuit emblematic books, the material culture, and purposes served by Jesuits using emblematic forms. Most of the volume is devoted to describing sites of emblem
production and individuals who produced emblems in the various Jesuit provinces of the Assistancies of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc.,
