An Italian verse translation of Andrea Alciato's Emblemata, published by Pietro Paolo Tozzi at Padua in 1626 for readers seeking moral instruction through picture, motto and commentary. Each emblem is a small square woodcut, printed beside a column of ornamental type flowers, showing mythological figures, animals, battling soldiers, burning cities and landscapes with walled towns, drawn in coarse black outline with dense parallel hatching for sky, water and ground.
