description: "Achille Bocchi, of Bologna, was an Italian humanist writer, emblematist, historian and lector in Greek, poetry and \"humanae litterae\" at the University of Bologna. He is best known for his emblem book Symbolicarum quaestionum de universo genere from 1555, which \"takes as its subject the whole of universal knowledge: physics, metaphysics, theology, dialectic, Love, Life and Death, packaging them under the veil of fables and myths.\" It borrowed from Francesco Colonna. The title page put it in the tradition of serio ludere. Bocchi was a friend of Giovanni Pierio Valeriano Bolzanio, and his work is related to Valeriano's Hieroglyphica."
