Historie cronologiche della vera origine di tutti gl' ordini equestri, e religioni caualleresche
A 1672 Venetian chronicle by Bernardo Giustiniani tracing the origins of knightly orders and military religious orders, printed by Combi & LaNoù. Its woodcut pictures are framed armorial plates, each a rectangular shield or banner set within a carved cartouche of armour, flags, and grotesque masks, showing how a designer might build a sober, repeatable heraldic frame around a central emblem.
