De duobus cervis elegia, dt. und frz.

Michael Toxites · 1545 · 1 picture

A 1545 Latin elegy by Michael Toxites, held by Heidelberg University Library, with German and French versions noted in its title. The page shows a pair of antlers above two heraldic coats of arms, painted in red, grey and gold with scrolling mantling. A designer could take from it the symmetrical arrangement of crest-like emblems and the red-and-gold heraldic palette.
