Bibliotheca exotica is a 1610 Frankfurt trade catalogue of foreign-language books, compiled by Georg Draudius and printed by Pierre Kopf for booksellers and fair-goers at the Frankfurt book fair. Its pictures are printed bookplate-style armorials, a rearing unicorn and lion flanking a crowned shield with a Latin motto and dedication banner, plus a strapwork headpiece. A designer might draw on the heraldic symmetry, scrollwork banners and crowned emblem vocabulary.
