Emblems in Colonial Ibero-America sets out to present to an anglophone readership the rich corpus of emblematic material in the Viceroyalties of New Spain and Peru and in Portuguese America. The papers presented here explore the way in which European emblems circulated and were exploited, mostly in the context of elaborate visual programmes of applied or, as Leal prefers, displayed emblems, often in a religious setting. However the traffic was not all in one direction, and the volume also identifies the unique interaction between the colonial European genre and a pre-existing visual tradition.

Emblems in Colonial Ibero-America présente le riche corpus de la littérature emblématique dans les vice-royautés de la Nouvelle-Espagne et du Pérou, ainsi que dans l’Amérique portugaise. Les articles rassemblés étudient la façon dont les emblèmes européens circulaient et étaient exploités, principalement dans le cadre de l’élaboration des programmes visuels d’emblèmes, le plus souvent dans un contexte religieux. Ce flux ne s’effectuait cependant pas en sens unique ; ce volume met également en lumière l’interaction spécifique entre le genre colonial européen et une tradition visuelle préexistante.
