Imprese nobili et ingeniose di diversi prencipi, et d'altri personaggi illustri nell'arme et nelle lettere : le quali, col disegno loro estrinseco, dimostrano l'animo, et la buona ò mala fortuna de gli autori loro
An Italian emblem book of 1583, engraved by Battista Pittoni with verses by Lodovico Dolce and printed in Venice by Francesco Ziletti, gathering personal devices of princes, soldiers and scholars. Each plate sets a small emblematic scene inside a strapwork cartouche framed by putti, herms, masks and fruit swags, with a motto banner and a ruled verse panel below.
