Affixiones of the Brussels Jesuit College on CD-ROM
This CD-ROM contains the entire collection of Emblem manuscripts from the
seventeenth-century Brussels Jesuit College. This series of manuscripts with drawing and
poems preserves for posterity an especially vivid record of the Brussels Jesuit College's
educational activities and involvement in civic life. The manuscripts almost always mention the name of the Poesis and Rhetorica pupils who had
designed an emblem. No other collection of affixiones of such scope, coherence and artistic merit
has been preserved.
More than 2,500 drawings and poems.
