Iacobi Philippi Tomasini patavini Illustrium virorum elogia, iconibus exornata
A 1630 Latin book of biographical elogia of illustrious men, published in Padua by Giacomo Filippo Tomasini with engraved portraits by Jérôme David, made for scholars and collectors of learned lives. The pictures are oval bust portraits of bearded men in period dress, set in ruled frames with fine parallel-line engraving, a model for orderly portrait medallions and tonal hatching.
