Description:Emblems in the visual arts use motifs which have meanings, and in this ground-breaking, richly illustrated book Michael Bath, leading authority on Renaissance emblem books, shows how such symbolic motifs in Scotland address major historical issues of Anglo-Scottish relations, the Reformation of the Church and the Union of the Crowns. Emblems are enigmas, and successive chapters ask for instance: Why does a late-medieval rood-screen show a jester at the Crucifixion? Why did Elizabeth I send Mary Queen of Scots tapestries showing the power of women to build a feminist City of God? Why did a presbyterian minister of Stirling decorate his manse with hieroglyphics?
