Synopsis
Gotthold’s Emblems; Or, Invisible Things Understood By Things That Are Made by Christian Scriver. This English translation, drawn from a mid-17th-century devotional emblem book, gathers hundreds of emblematic meditations in which ordinary objects and natural phenomena become mirrors of Christian truth. Each emblem links a concrete image—such as the Dial-Plate, Snow, The Money Scales, The Paper Mill, The Tree, The Bell, The Lute, The Candle—to a devotional reflection on humility, repentance, charity, and trust in God. Through Scripture references and prayers, Gotthold’s Emblems invites readers to contemplate God’s presence and providence in daily life, to disdain worldly vanities, and to seek eternal realities. The Translator’s Preface presents Christian Scriver (1629–1693) as a highly regarded Magdeburg pastor whose writings enliven piety by revealing heaven in nature. The volume is designed as a daily treasury for personal devotion and family use, offering guidance, moral exhortation, and spiritual reflection.
