Il torneo di Bonauentura Pistofilo nobile ferrarese, dottor di legge e caualiere, nel Teatro di Pallade dell'ordine militare et accademico
A 1627 Bologna treatise on tournament and military exercise by Bonaventura Pistofilo, a Ferrarese nobleman, lawyer and knight, engraved by Giovanni Battista Coriolano for a noble and academic military audience. Its plates show armoured figures in plumed helmets holding pikes, lances and swords in drill-like poses, set in a page layout with a numbered caption and running text, useful for designers seeking early seventeenth-century Italian armour, plumes and pose studies.
