A Latin commentary on Andrea Alciato's emblems by the Salamanca rhetoric professor Francisco Sánchez de las Brozas, printed at Lyon by Guillaume Rouillé in 1573 for humanist scholars and students, with woodcuts credited to Pierre Eskrich. The 217 small square cuts set mythological and moral scenes in open landscapes with hatched skies, rolling hills, hilltop castles and rivers, giving designers compact emblem vignettes, winged and hybrid creatures, and attribute-bearing figures such as Mercury with caduceus.
