The book was extremely influential in the 17th and 18th centuries and was quoted extensively in various art forms. This volume contains all three parts, and is profusely illustrated with engravings. The Iconologia overo Descrittione Dell’imagini Universali cavate dall’Antichita et da altri luoghi was a highly influential emblem book based on Egyptian, Greek and Roman emblematical representations. The book was used by orators, artists, poets and modern Italians to give substance to qualities such as virtues, vices, passions, arts and sciences. The concepts were arranged in alphabetical order, after the fashion of the Renaissance. For each there was a verbal description of the allegorical figure proposed by Ripa to embody the concept, giving the type and color of its clothing and its varied symbolic paraphernalias, along with the reasons why these were chosen, reasons often supported by references to literature (largely classical) [Courtesy Wikipedia].
