Iconologie, ou Nouvelle explication de plusieurs images, emblemes, & autres figures hyerogliphiques des vertus, des vices, des arts, des sciences, des causes naturelles, des humeurs differentes, des passions humaines, &c. Divisée en deux parties
Iconologie is a 1677 Paris emblem book by Cesare Ripa, expanded with plates by Jacques de Bie and Jean Baudoin and published by Louis Billaine for artists and readers of allegory. Its round engraved plates show allegorical women holding attributes such as a torch, scales, a book, a flute, a tree or a bird, often with a putto or animal beside them, giving designers a ready vocabulary of personifications with fixed emblems.
