Howell's Devises is a book written by Thomas Howell in 1581. It is a collection of 365 emblems or symbolic images, each accompanied by a motto, epigram, and explanatory poem. The emblems are designed to inspire moral and ethical reflection and were often used as teaching tools in schools and universities during the Renaissance period. The book is divided into three sections, with the first section containing emblems that focus on the virtues of God, the second section focusing on the virtues of man, and the third section focusing on the vices of man. Howell's Devises is considered a significant work of the Renaissance period and has been studied by scholars and artists for centuries. The book is also notable for its intricate woodcut illustrations, which were created by a team of artists led by the renowned engraver, John Sadeler. Overall, Howell's Devises is a fascinating glimpse into the moral and cultural values of the Renaissance era and remains a valuable resource for scholars of literature, art, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
