Regula emblematica Sancti Benedicti is a 1780 Viennese emblem book printed by Johann Thomas von Trattner, compiled by Bonifaz Gallner and Ferdinand Landerer around the Rule of Saint Benedict for Benedictine monks. Its round copperplate emblems pair a single religious object with a sky or landscape backdrop, drawn with fine crosshatched lines, offering a designer a compact model for symbolic emblems built from one bold central motif.
