Hieronymus Lauretus
Hieronymus Lauretus , alias Jeroni de Lloret (* 1506 ; † 1571 ), was a Benedictine and author of the reference work Silva Allegoriarum totius Sacrae Scripturae ( Forest of Allegories from the Holy Scriptures ), which was central to baroque allegory and reprinted throughout Europe until the 18th century ). The work lists a large number of lexemes , each of which is explained with regard to their allegorical significance for the interpretation of the Bible .
In the introduction to the 1971 reprint, Friedrich Ohly described the work as the treasure house of a good millennium of allegorical interpretation of the biblical vocabulary , which would have passed on the entire medieval legacy of spiritual word exegesis to the modern age up to the 18th century .
