Abstract
My doctoral research focused on the practice of thesis prints, which spread at the same time at university and in Jesuit colleges of the Southern Low Countries during the 17th century. An aim of my dissertation was to consider those visual and textual productions as witnesses of the scientific imagery characterizing the Baroque period. The defended subjects pertained to the traditional fields taught at the Faculty of Arts, including the study of Philosophy and natural sciences (Logic, Physics, Metaphysics, and Ethic). This paper presents the different forms of languages combined in thesis prints, using at the same time personifications, emblems, symbols, diagrams, framing systems, ornamental figures, putti pupils or experimenters, etc, and examines their educational role.
