Herederos de Alciato en Holanda y España: Adriano Junio (Emblemata, 1565) y Juan de Solórzano Pereira (Emblemata centum regio politica, 1653)

This article analyses the specific character of two emblem books published by two authors living at a great spatial and temporal distance, the Dutch physician and philologist Hadrianus Junius and the Spanish lawyer and historian Juan de Solórzano. A comparison of their works reveals the extensive use the Spanish scholar made of the Dutchman's book. Solórzano's voluminous Emblemata centum deserves, therefore, a place of honour in the history of both the reception of Junius' emblem book and of Latin emblematic literature in general.
