Francisci Ponae Cardiomorphoseos, siue, Ex corde desumpta emblemata sacra
A Latin emblem book by the Veronese physician and writer Francesco Pona, printed at Verona in 1645 for devout and learned readers who read moral lessons through pictures. Each emblem pairs an engraved oval scene with a scrolled banderole motto, the human heart shown winged, pierced, sprouting, or cradled in landscapes, alongside woodcut leaf ornaments.
