This project aims to digitize a typical Dutch corpus: the corpus of 17th-century secular and religious love emblem books. They are published on the Internet in a format with search capabilities that enables visitors to access the material in a variety of ways. The backbone of this Internet site is formed by an XML-database that includes scholarly editions and indexes.Since most emblematic studies have a comparative aim, indexes and other search tools are incorporated in these editions.
