Le ingeniose sorti, composte per Francesco Marcolini da Forli : intitulate Giardino di pensieri
A fortune-telling book by cards, printed and compiled by Francesco Marcolini in Venice in 1550, with verses by Lodovico Dolce and woodcuts after Giuseppe Porta, made for courtly readers playing at divination. The indexed cuts are tiny framed card emblems: grids of coin and cup pips, and crouching or striding nude figures, usable as marks, dingbats, or repeating pattern units.
