<p><i>Io. Mercerii I.C. Emblemata</i> is a collection of emblems by the French jurist and poet Jean Mercier (1545-1600) published in 1591. The work consists of a series of emblematic images each accompanied by a Latin motto and explanatory verses. These emblems rendered with fine detail by the engraver Queyr explore themes of morality virtue and human experience through allegory and symbolism.</p><p>Mercier's emblems offer a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and artistic culture of the late 16th century reflecting the influence of classical learning and Renaissance humanism.
