This article studies some of the ways in which the Popular Renaissance vogue of emblem literature affected Spanish Golden Age theater. Specifically, Calderón's El médico de su honra is examined in three areas. After reviewing previous criticism on emblematics in the play, the article identifies other emblems that Calderón seems to have incorporated into the dialogue of the play. The second section considers the ways in which Calderón availed himself of emblematics in the staging of the play. The final part of the study explores Calderón's use of emblematic language in El médico de su honra .
