In Search of ‘l’amy’ and ‘l’amitié’: Early Seventeenth-Century Editions of Emblems from the Glasgow University Website

Abstract

Abstract How might French emblems of the Grand Siècle contribute to our understanding of the concept of amitié? In memory of Amy Wygant and in recognition of her distinguished career at the University of Glasgow, the present study focuses on friends and friendship in French emblems featured in the rich collection found on the Glasgow University Emblem Website. Just as early modern emblems moved between media, so this article will move between studies of emblems and reflections on our dear friend Amy.
