Emblemata anniversaria Academiae Altorfinae : stvdiorvm ivventvtis exercitandorvm cavsa proposita et variorvm orationibvs exposita
Emblemata anniversaria is a 1597 Latin book of anniversary emblems issued by the Academy of Altdorf near Nuremberg, published by Levinus Hulsius and printed by Christophorus Lochner for the university's students. The pictures are small circular medallions, each carrying a Latin motto and date set in roman capitals within a beaded border, with a few sprigs of foliage as ornament. A designer could draw on their compact circular label format, dense inscription layout and restrained botanical flourishes for seals, medals or commemorative badges.
