Indices include the original German and English translations of German motifs, pictorial motifs, personal names and place names, and Peter M. Daly supplies an able introduction explaining what is known of Held's life and work, including for whom Held's German version was intended, Held's language, mottoes and epigrams and issues of translation. The result is an invaluable primary source for scholars of early modern and earlier emblems and their place in social history. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
