Abstract
The article analyzes the problem of emblematic rhetorics and one of its manifestations - J. Mazen’s theory “Imago Figurata”. The article points to the rhetorical emblem as it was seen by Jesuits - starting from “argutial” emblem and up to an emblem being a rhetorical syllogism. The article demonstrates how emblem’s rhetorization postulated its integrity in relations between “protasis” and “apodosis” together with “four fonts of inventio” and parallelism structure of emblematics and canons of rhetorical “dispositio”.
