The plates revolve around the symbolism of the heart, which undergoes a variety of processes and experiences through a cycle of 40 stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam McLean, in his introduction and commentary, elucidates the history of the text and the nature of the symbolism. He convincingly argues that Cramer, a Protestant theologian, was consciously trying to produce a series of spiritual exercises for a Protestant, esoteric Christianity. McLean outlines a way to work with the emblems and their symbolism and suggests that a work as profound and as simple as this can never die, but must always be a source of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a Rosicrucian item of great interest and will be greatly valued by all students of emblematic philosophy and the Hermetic tradition.
