Ludus sphaerae per annulum ferreum: tradición alegórico-emblemática del beugelen
2016
ABSTRACT: Beugelen was a game, described early on by Erasmus, which gained wide popularity in the Netherlands, played both in palaces and villages, as evidenced by numerous engravings of the 16th and 17th Centuries.

2010
En 1731 vieron la luz las Empresas Políticas Militares de Juan Antonio Pozuelo, manual de conducta ejemplar para el estamento militar en el ejercicio de su profesión. El libro está compuesto por 55 empresas que se ajustan a la característica disposición tripartita del emblema. En su recorrido por las virtudes y vicios que debe tener presente el militar, el autor se sirve continuamente de motivos que gozan de tradición emblemática, claro ejemplo del agotamiento del género. Es posible detectar no obstante un reducido grupo de empresas que reviste mayor grado de originalidad, lo cual supone una aportación personal del autor a la enseñanza que quiere transmitir. Y, en ocasiones, los objetos esc…
