Andrea Alciati's Latin emblem book, first issued 1531 and here printed at Padua in 1661 by Paolo Frambotto with commentaries by Mignault, Sánchez and Pignoria, for scholars and readers of allegory. Each of the 224 woodcuts sets a small square scene—gods, beasts, sea creatures, figures in fields—inside a repeated strapwork frame with grotesque profile heads, brackets and fruit swags, usable as emblem motifs or ready-made cartouches.
