Abstract

Juan de Borja (1533-1606) publishes in 1581 an emblems work in which by means of combining text and image he aims at educating his readers by conveying moral values to them. This work is worth being highlighted because it is the precursor of a model which shall later on be established as a classic in emblematics, and due to the great weight of the Society of Jesus. The goal of the work is showing the interwoven and spreading of the precepts of the Order in the Moral Ventures, which in principle had a predominantly political nature.
