Solomonic Iconography in Early Stuart England: Solomon's Wisdom, Solomon's Folly

Front Cover
Edwin Mellen Press, 2001 - Bible - 315 pages
Solomon was the most prominant figure in English Jacobean symbolism - symbolising the struggle between aspiration and scepticism - a struggle with manifestations in almost every aspect of that culture. This book shows the ways in which the images were used, both consistantly and inconsistantly.
