Emblem books, both Secular and Religious , attained enormous popularity throughout continental Europe, though in Britain they never captured the imagination of readers to the same extent. The books were especially numerous in the Netherlands , Belgium , Germany , and France . Andrea Alciato wrote the epigrams contained in the first and most widely disseminated emblem book, the '' Emblemata '', published by Heinrich Steyner in 1531 in Augsburg .
