Emblems of Mortality by Clayton G. MacKenzie Pdf

In our own age, the engagement with death has been discretely narrowed into a brief process of formal commemoration and burial, but in Shakespeare's time it was ritualized into the very fabric of everyday life, where the reminders of death, the journey to the grave, and the moment of expiry were all central to the cultural engagement with mortality in post-Reformation England. Inevitably, this way of seeing the world impacted the writing of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, not only in relation to the intellectual content of the drama but with regard to its visual impressions as well. Emblems of Mortality explores the relationship between Shakespeare's theatre and popular memento mori and funereal iconography of the Renaissance, combining cultural studies and historicism with semiotic analysis of period iconography. Through close reading of Elizabethan signs and sign systems with attention to historical context, the work seeks to demonstrate the quality and intention of some of Shakespeare's theatrical designs in a way that will appeal to scholars of drama and students of Shakespeare's work.

Emblems of Death in the Early Modern Period by Collectif Pdf

Les livres d’emblèmes imprimés en Europe sont florissants entre le XVIe et XVIIIe siècle. Les emblèmes de la mort constituent pour les chercheurs un sujet passionnant dont le présent ouvrage présente le travail exhaustif en complétant celui de Gisèle Mathieu-Castellani, Emblèmes de la mort. Le dialogue de l’image et du texte (Paris, A.-G. Nizet, 1988) qui se concentre principalement sur les emblèmes produits aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles en France. Les emblèmes de la mort créés lors de cette période ne présentent pas aux lecteurs de nouvelles idées sur ce sujet, alors que les auteurs d’emblèmes italiens élaborent et expriment la philosophie et la théologie avec lesquelles ils ont grandi, se sont convertis et ont étudié. Les emblèmes de la mort sont divisés en deux catégories, ceux qui sont inspirés par les croyances chrétiennes (catholiques et protestantes) et ceux qui utilisent les idéaux humanistes comme la survie après la mort par la gloire. Les auteurs d'emblèmes intègrent dans leurs textes un mélange de facteurs politico-idéologique, spirituel et historique, que les contributeurs de cet ouvrage décrivent et interprètent magistralement.

The Secret Power of Masonic Symbols by Robert Lomas Pdf

An illustrated guide to ancient Masonic symbols and how they have shaped our world throughout history. For more than five hundred years, the symbology of Freemasonry has fostered a secret stream of radical ideas running just beneath the surface of popular culture today. These ideas, illuminated by public symbols hidden in full view, have influenced and shaped the society we have today. Despite this ongoing record of inspiration, no illustrated guidebook to the basic ideas of Masonic Symbology has even been published and the story remains mysterious—until now. This authoritative guide reveals how this symbology has been the backdrop to key historical events in the history of humanity from ancient times and how, in more recent times, inspired leaders have harnessed the symbols’ power to bring about change in society. Renowned Freemasonry historian Dr. Robert Lomas takes you inside the Secret Order and shows you how Entered Apprentices first learn their craft, and how continual exposure to these mystical symbols can change the way you think. You’ll explore the six mysterious Tracing Boards that are at the heart of every Masonic Grand Lodge, ending with the final, most mystical symbol, known as “the Centre.” Let The Secret Power of Masonic Symbols be your personal guide and show you how these symbols have made their indelible mark on the past, and how they will continue to influence society in the future.

The Sacred Symbols of Mu by James Churchward Pdf

Occultist James Churchward was obsessed with the lost continent of Mu, home to the original human civilization, after learning of this mysterious and forgotten paradise from an Indian priest, who shared several ancient tablets written by the Naacals, the inhabitants of Mu. Or so Churchward claimed.Here, in this work first published in 1933, Churchward discusses his contention that all religions from across Earth share a common origin in Mu. In particular, he explores how symbols of Mu-gleaned, supposedly, from the ancient tablets-bear startling resemblances to everything from the Egyptian ankh and Chinese pictograms to Native American calendar glyphs.The reality of Mu aside, students of comparative mythology and fans of esoterica will find this a fascinating book.British inventor, engineer, and author COLONEL JAMES CHURCHWARD (1851-1936), the elder brother of mystic author Albert Churchward, also wrote The Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Man (1926), The Children of Mu (1931), The Lost Continent of Mu (1931), Cosmic Forces of Mu (1934), and Second Book of Cosmic Forces of Mu (1935).
