Lilii Graegorii Ziraldi ferrariensis Syntagma de mvsis
Lilio Gregorio Giraldi's 1512 Latin treatise on the nine Muses, printed in Strasbourg by Matthias Schürer for a scholarly readership of humanists and students. The pictures are small woodcut portraits of the Muses set beside dense columns of type, each figure in flowing robes with an attribute and a labelled cartouche, offering a designer a model for compact, emblematic figure-and-text layouts.
