Mundus symbolicus : in emblematum universitate formatus, explicatus, et tam sacris quàm profanis eruditionibus ac sententiis illustratus : subministrans oratoribus, praedicatoribus, academicis, poetis &c. innumera conceptuum argumenta
Mundus symbolicus is a 1729 Latin emblem book compiled by Filippo Picinelli and expanded by Augustin Erath, printed in Cologne for preachers, orators, poets and scholars seeking subjects for their work. The pictures are black-and-white engraved headpieces and cartouches, with ornamental scrollwork, grotesque masks, and small framed views of buildings and landscapes that a designer could borrow for decorative borders and vignettes.
