Encyclopaedia ad Aram mysticam Nonarii Terrigenae anonymi vetustissimi
A 1630 Latin treatise by Fortunio Liceti, printed at Padua by Gasparo Crivellari, on the mystical altar of an ancient anonymous writer, with learned scholarly readers in mind. The single picture is an engraved emblem in an ornate cartouche, showing two figures in a lively confrontation beneath a scroll with the inscription 'FORTASSE LICEBI', a motif a designer could adapt for pairing text with dramatic figure poses inside a decorative frame.
