Emblemata is a 1584 Paris emblem book by the jurist Andrea Alciati, with Latin and French verses, edited by Claude Mignault and printed for the French-reading public by Jean Richer. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: symmetrical strapwork panels, scrolled cartouches, and a grotesque mask with flanking ornament, which a designer could draw on for border, frame, and bracket motifs.
