A rebus (/ˈriːbəs/ REE-bəss) is a puzzle device that combines the use of illustrated pictures with individual letters to depict words or phrases. For example: the word "been" might be depicted by a rebus showing an illustrated bumblebee next to a plus sign (+) and the letter "n". It was a favourite form of heraldic expression used in the Middle Ages to denote surnames.
For example, in its basic form, three salmon (fish) are used to denote the surname "Salmon". A more sophisticated example was the rebus of Bishop Walter Lyhart (d. 1472) of Norwich, consisting of a stag (or hart) lying down in a conventional representation of water.
The composition alludes to the name, profession or personal characteristics of the bearer, and speaks to the beholder Non verbis, sed rebus, which Latin expression signifies "not by words but by things"[1] (res, rei (f), a thing, object, matter; rebus being ablative plural).[2]
Rebuses are used extensively as a form of heraldic expression as a hint to the name of the bearer; they are not synonymous with canting arms. A man might have a rebus as a personal identification device entirely separate from his armorials, canting or otherwise. For example, Sir Richard Weston (d. 1541) bore as arms: Ermine, on a chief azure five bezants, whilst his rebus, displayed many times in terracotta plaques on the walls of his mansion Sutton Place, Surrey, was a "tun" or barrel, used to designate the last syllable of his surname.
An example of canting arms proper are those of the Borough of Congleton in Cheshire consisting of a conger eel, a lion (in Latin, leo) and a tun (barrel). This word sequence "conger-leo-tun" enunciates the town's name. Similarly, the coat of arms of St. Ignatius Loyola contains wolves (in Spanish, lobo) and a kettle (olla), said by some (probably incorrectly) to be a rebus for "Loyola". The arms of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon feature bows and lions.
A rebus made up solely of letters (such as "CU" for "See you") is known as a gramogram, grammagram, or letteral word. This concept is sometimes extended to include numbers (as in "Q8" for "Kuwait", or "8" for "ate").[3] Rebuses are sometimes used in crossword puzzles, with multiple letters or a symbol fitting into a single square.[4]
The writing of correspondence in rebus form became popular in the eighteenth century and continued into the nineteenth century. Lewis Carroll wrote the children he befriended picture-puzzle rebus letters, nonsense letters, and looking-glass letters, which had to be held in front of a mirror to be read.[8] Rebus letters served either as a sort of code or simply as a pastime.
Some linguists believe that the Chinese developed their writing system according to the rebus principle,[9] and Egyptian hieroglyphs sometimes used a similar system. A famous rebus statue of Ramses II uses three hieroglyphs to compose his name: Horus (as Ra), for Ra; the child, mes; and the sedge plant (stalk held in left hand), su; the name Ra-mes-su is then formed.[10]
Sigmund Freud[11] posited that the rebus was the basis for uncovering the latent content of the dream. He wrote, "A dream is a picture puzzle of this sort and our predecessors in thefield of dream interpretation have made the mistake of treating the rebus as a pictorial composition: and as such it has seemed to themnonsensical and worthless."
In Japan, the rebus known as hanjimono (判じ物)[18] was immensely popular during the Edo period.[19] A piece by ukiyo-e artist Kunisada was "Actor Puzzles" (Yakusha hanjimono) that featured rebuses.[20]
Kabuki actors would wear yukata and other clothing whose pictorial design, in rebus, represented their Yagō "guild names", and would distribute tenugui cloth with their rebused names as well. The practice was not restricted to the acting profession and was undertaken by townsfolk of various walks of life. There were also pictorial calendars called egoyomi that represented the Japanese calendar in rebus so it could be "read" by the illiterate.
A rebus communicates its message by means of pictures or symbols whose names sound like various parts of a word, phrase, or sentence. For example, a picture of a can of tomatoes followed by the letters UC and a picture of a well means "Can you see well?" In Latin, the word rebus means "by things"; rebus is a form of the Latin word res, which means "thing." English speakers started using the word rebus for picture writing in the early 1600s.
The Rebus Guide to Publishing Open Textbooks (So Far) is for anyone thinking about starting an open textbook project. It starts at the beginning of the process, with chapters on project scoping and building a team, and then moves on to content creation and editing, getting feedback and reviews, coordinating release and adoptions, and sustaining the book\u2019s community.The book is also a work-in-progress,\u00a0an effort that will evolve and grow over time. Through conversations, use, new writers\u2019 and editors\u2019 contributions, and ongoing reflection and revision, it will reflect our changing perspectives on how and why we make open textbooks. Initiated by Rebus team members Zoe Wake Hyde and Apurva Ashok,\u00a0the text is the result of innumerable conversations and exchanges within the Rebus Community, representing a wide range of collective knowledge and experience.Please note those two little words in parentheses in the title: there are plenty of new learnings, knowledge, and reflexive revisions to come! Everyone is therefore invited to become a part of the project\u00a0and follow its progress, as well as leave feedback, comments, and recommendations for corrections\u00a0on the Rebus Community platform.","image":"https:\/\/press.rebus.community\/app\/uploads\/sites\/135\/2019\/08\/The-Rebus-Guide-to-Publishing-ebook-Cover-1.jpg","author":["@type":"Person","name":"Apurva Ashok","slug":"apurva-ashok","@type":"Person","name":"Zoe Wake Hyde","slug":"zoe-wake-hyde","@type":"Person","contributor_first_name":"Kaitlin","contributor_last_name":"Schilling","name":"Kaitlin Schilling","slug":"kaitlin"],"editor":["@type":"Person","name":"David Szanto","slug":"david-szanto"],"translator":[],"reviewedBy":[],"illustrator":[],"contributor":["@type":"Person","name":"Elizabeth Mays","slug":"elizabeth-mays","@type":"Person","contributor_first_name":"J\u00f6rdis","contributor_last_name":"Weilandt","name":"J\u00f6rdis Weilandt","slug":"jordis-weilandt"],"about":["@type":"Thing","identifier":"KNTP1","name":"Publishing and book trade","@type":"Thing","identifier":"CBW","name":"Writing and editing guides"],"publisher":"@type":"Organization","name":"Rebus Community","address":"@type":"PostalAddress","addressLocality":"Montr\u00e9al","datePublished":"2019-09-30","copyrightYear":"2019","license":"@type":"CreativeWork","url":"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/","name":"CC BY (Attribution)","code":"CC BY","description":"You can find free copies of this book in multiple formats (web, PDF, EPUB & editable) at: https:\/\/press.rebus.community\/the-rebus-guide-to-publishing-open-textbooks\/","bookDirectoryExcluded":false,"language":"@type":"Language","code":"en","name":"English"}:root--primary:#cd4b18;--accent:#004262;--primary-fg:#ffffff;--accent-fg:#ffffff;--primary-dark:#983812;--accent-dark:#006699;--primary-alpha:rgba(205,75,24,0.25);--accent-alpha:rgba(0,66,98,0.25);:root--reading-width:40em;window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer [];function gtag()dataLayer.push(arguments);gtag('js', new Date());gtag('config', 'G-4WXRG7ZSW5');Skip to contentToggle MenuPrimary Navigation
I need to use the capture() function from rebus package, but for the life of me, I cannot seem to find decent references or examples online. Makes me wonder if this function is even in common use anymore.
Hi, thanks very much for that. I too find the help pages not that helpful for beginners. So, i have been relying on online samples, and youtube videos & tutorials. The thing with rebus and capture() is that, for some reason these online resources are very much lacking.
rebus (third-person singular simple present rebuses or rebusses, present participle rebusing or rebussing, simple past and past participle rebused or rebussed) (transitive, obsolete, rare)
The use of rebuses as puzzles for a fun activity became popular in France during the 16th century before spreading further around Europe. Not long after during the Edo period they also came into use in Japan.
a puzzle or riddle consisting of words or phrases represented by pictures of objects whose names resemble in sound the words or phrases intended, c. 1600, apparently from Latin rebus (and meaning literally "by means of objects"), ablative plural of res "thing, object" (see re). According to French sources (Gilles Ménage, "Les origines de la langue françoise," 1650), principally from the phrase de rebus quæ geruntur "of things which are going on," in reference to the satirical pieces composed by Picardy clerks at carnivals, subtle satires of current events using pictures to suggest words, phrases or things. Or this use of the Latin word might be from the representations being non verbis sed rebus "not by words, but by things."
Clausula rebus sic stantibus is a clause in international conventions (international agreements or treaties) that provides for the unenforceability of a treaty due to fundamentally changed circumstances. The doctrine is one of the oldest norms of customary international law. See Elihu Lauterpacht, International Law: Disputes, War and Neutrality, pts. IX-XIV, at 14-15 (Cambridge, 2004). A variant of this doctrine is codified in Article 62 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. It is commonly codified as a provision in individual treaties.
