Sažetak
The article presents several printed collections of panegyric emblems related to Croatian cultural milieu as specific media intended to promote the Habsburg imperial house in the 17th century. Emblem books were not printed in Croatia, but many of them were used, especially by Jesuits, as is documented in a Catalogue with books in the Zagreb Jesuit College library from the 18th ct. (preserved in Budapest). Some of these emblem books are dedicated to Habsburg Emperors Ferdinand III and Leopold I. The only author of an emblem book from Croatia in the 17th ct. was Sebastian Glavinić (1632-1697) Bishop of Senj, educated in the Jesuit academies in Graz, Vienna and Trnava. He published in Vienna a panegyric emblem book of epithalamic type, dedicated to the wedding of Leopold I and Margaret of Spain 1666 under the title Deplua charitum aurora augustissimi Phoebi Leopoldi augusto rore in Margaritam resolute. By glorifying the imperial wedding in a medium that was accessible to the wider public, he could himself partake in the imperial glory, which also brought him adequate benefits.
