A 1679 Venetian folio on the Holy Roman emperors from Conrad II to Lothair II, compiled by Giovanni Palazzi with Arnold van Westerhout and printed by Andreas Poleti for a Latin-reading scholarly audience. Its engraved pages are framed portrait medallions of kings and emperors with scrolled cartouches, swags of fruit and flowers, and Latin inscriptions, giving a designer models for ornamental baroque frames and oval portrait settings.
