Currently, a systematic list of the initials and devices is being developed, which should be applicable also to identification of the book provenance (supralibros in the form of initials or handwritten exlibris as a symbolum cephalonomaticum). The objective of this paper is the analysis of the influence of profession, social status, confession, nationality, conferred honours and values of their bearers and inventors of symbola. The most frequent sources of inspiration for symbola such as emblem books, adagia and other will also be identified. Besides preserved prints and modern inventories of the book provenance, alba amicorum are also counted as a relevant source, in which the individual device is often associated with an emblem (similarly to printed insignia or printers’ signets) and abbreviations in the form of initials occur in frequently used proverbs or sayings. Finally, different languages used in symbola will be discussed.
