Achille Bocchi's best-known work, ""Symbolicarum quaestionum de universo genere"" ""takes as its subject the whole of universal knowledge: physics, metaphysics, theology, dialectic, Love, Life and Death, packaging them under the veil of fables and myths"" (p.114, Manning, ""The Emblem""). The title page situates this work in the tradition of ""serio ludere"" the symbolic literature of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Ref. Karen PINKUS - Picturing silence.
