A Latin emblem book of symbolic-physical discourses by the Jesuit Ignaz Schwarz, published at Munich and Ingolstadt in 1755 with copperplates by Johann Melchior Gutwein and Gottfrid Rogg, for students and clergy trained in devotional natural philosophy. Each plate frames a saint or philosopher in a stagelike interior or garden, with banderoles of motto verse, a small landscape roundel overhead, and props of study: books, skulls, globes, hourglasses, winged putti, ruins, and beasts.
