united


Explanation:
Given that each saint / religious figure has a unique set of symbols (for example, St. Sebastian with arrows, the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the heart wrapped in thorns), it sounds like the symbols for the different figures have been grouped together.
It would help if you could tell us WHERE they are "accorpati".

Emblematized


Explanation:
Translated "ad litteram" could have been translated "embodied" as well as "incarnated". But in the current context My opinion is that the more accurate translation "ad sensum" would be "emblematized".

Note to Mergim


Explanation:

Sorry for the very short: agreee for "USA but not for UK"

What I meant was:
"Emblematized" is beautiful but in England is used by T.S. Eliot and other authors, and in academic/literary circles.
Unfortunately, the "average" English person has a very limited vocabulary

Saluti,

Giuseppe

Explanation:
Sei stai scrivendo una tesi in inglese- americano "embelematized" va benissimo, anzi direi che "favoloso".

Se stai scrivendo una tesi in inglese-britannico sarebbe meglio usare "emblemise"

se, invece, stai traducendo un dépliant potresti prendere in considerazione i sggerimenti di cbolton, Luskie, e Antonella

Buon lavoro
