Il segreto de segreti, le moralità, e la phisionomia ... dove si trattano e' mirabili ammaestramenti ch'egli scrisse al magno Alessandro si per il reggimento de l'imperio, come per la conservatione de la sanità, e per conoscere le persone a' che siano inclinate ...
Il segreto de segreti is a 1538 Venetian printed book attributed to Aristotle, issued by Z. Tacuinus da Trino and framed as advice to Alexander the Great on governance, health and physiognomy. The single picture is a woodcut title border with a laurel wreath enclosing a cross-like emblem, two women flanking a chequered floor and a chalice, and a printed privilege notice beside it; a designer might take its symmetrical framing, tight black line work and classical ornament as a model for period title pages.
