This article introduces the emblem book Cor Iesv amanti sacrvm by Antonius Wierix, written around 1586/87 with 18 engravings accompanied by brief Latin poems of two stanzas with three lines each. After a general introduction to the work, this study presents an iconographic analysis of the picturae, interpreted together with their corresponding subscriptiones. This text and image composition is then regarded as religious language, typical of Jesuit emblem books. By comparing different editions of this book, the order of the 18 emblems -suggested (but not explained) by Menon -is confirmed, and a new sequence is proposed, highlighting the main objective of this work, viz. the promotion of the triple mystic way.
