The Emblems of the Altdorf Academy: Medals and Medal Orations 1577-1626. By Frederick John Stopp.
Frederick John Stopp was Reader in German Renaissance Studies at the University of Cambridge.
With a detailed investigation of the Altdorf system of 'emblematic oratory' in its historical and educational context (Chapters 2-4) Dr Stopp's book achieves its full breadth. The task involved demands a scholar of exceptionally wide learning. Dr Stopp meets these requirements in the most convincing manner.
