Mundus Symbolicus, in emblematum universitate formatus, explicatus, et tam sacris, quam profanis eruditionibus ac sententiis illustratus
Mundus Symbolicus is a 1681 emblem book compiled by Filippo Picinelli and edited by Augustinus Erath, published by Hermann Demen, offering learned moral and religious explanations of symbols for scholarly readers. Its pictures are small woodcut and engraved ornaments: a cherub-centred cartouche, a floral pomegranate panel, and an engraved title frame with scrolls, masks and a landscape, useful for designers studying Baroque decorative framing and symbolic motifs.
