Hieroglyph and Allegory is a long overdue translation into English of Karl Giehlow's Hieroglyphenkunde, a pioneering attempt to show that hieroglyphics had a fundamental influence on Renaissance art. Raybould's translation, introduction and notes add an important piece of historical scholarship to Giehlow's masterpiece.
