Dialogo dell'imprese militari et amorose di monsignor Giovio, vescouo di Nocera : con vn ragionamento di messer Lodouico Domenichi nel medesimo soggetto ; con la tavola
Paolo Giovio's dialogue on military and amorous imprese, with Lodovico Domenichi's companion discourse, printed by Guillaume Rouillé at Lyon in 1559 for courtiers and heralds who devised personal emblems. Each woodcut sets a device—burning altars, split trunks, tridents, blank cartouches—inside an oval ringed by grotesque borders of satyrs, birds, and scrollwork, with banderoles carrying Latin mottoes ready for relettering.
