Abstract
Emblemata Sacra: Emblem Books from the Maurits Sabbe Library, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven is the catalogue of an exhibition mounted at the Francis A. Drexel Library at Saint Joseph‟s University in spring 2006. This exhibit took place in conjunction with the celebration of the Society of Jesus‟s commemoration in 2006 of three major anniversaries: the 450th anniversary of the death of its founder, St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), as well as the 500th anniversary of the birth of Ignatius‟s first two companions, St. Francis Xavier (1506-52) and Bl. Peter Faber (1506-46). The “Emblemata Sacra” exhibit featured nearly seventy emblem books from the world‟s premier theological library‟s rich collection of preciosa and Jesuitica. The exhibit was divided into thirteen thematic sections, each of which in the catalogue is explained by text prepared by a specialist in emblem studies and illustrated by full color, high density images of each of the emblem books exhibited. The volume also includes a bibliography.
