Avstrasiae reges et dvces epigrammatis
Avstrasiae reges et dvces epigrammatis is a 1591 Latin book printed at Cologne, with verses by Nicolas Clément and François Guibaudet and engravings attributed to Pierre Woeiriot, presenting rulers and dukes of Austrasia as small oval portrait medallions. The engraved busts are in fine line with dense hatching, showing crowns, plumed helmets, armour, sceptres and long beards, a model for designers wanting a consistent set of historical portrait roundels with Latin inscriptions around the rim.
