Iacobi Philippi Tomasini Patavini Illvstrivm virorvm elogia iconibvs exornata ..
A 1630 Latin book of biographical elogia by Giacomo Filippo Tomasini, printed at Padua by Donato Pasquardi and partner for a learned readership, with each notable man's portrait set in an oval frame. The engraved portraits show scholars and churchmen in bust view against hatched backgrounds, a model for dignified period portrait layouts with framed ovals and fine line shading.
