 Dear members of Web4Ren,

    at URL
 http://mdz2.bib-bvb.de/~emblem/emblmaske.html
 you find a search interface to a database
 providing access to information about and
 scans from a rather great number of nowadays
 less popular emblemata books.
    As the search interface is in German:
 here are some tentative translations that
 might make using it easier:
 Autor = Author (you guessed that one, didn't
                 you?)
 Titel = Title   (as above ...)
 Kuenstler = Artist
 Verleger/Drucker = Publisher/Printer
 Verlags/Druckort = Place of publication
 Bildmotiv = Subject of illustration
 Bel. Begriff im Motto = freetext search on the motto
 Bibelstelle = Place in the bible
 Tag = Day
 Person = Person
 Bedeutung = freetext search in the  authors'
             commentaries
 Additional information (in German) on how to
 use the database is at URL
 http://mdz2.bib-bvb.de/~emblem/emblhilfe.html

    A list of the books can bee found at URL
 http://mdz2.bib-bvb.de/~emblem/dig-cpl.html
 .

    And there is a Munich university press
 release concerning this project and database
 (in German) at URL
 http://www.uni-muenchen.de/lmu-32006100/htdocs/p_details.cfm?news_id=975
