Il Teatro d'onore : aperto li 10. agosto di quest'anno 1694 nel Ducale collegio de' nobili di Parma, per rimeritare que' signori convittori, che nello studio delle lettere e delle arti cavalleresche si sono sopra gli altri segnalati, e consacrato all' Altezza Serenissima di Ranuccio II, duca di Parma, Piacenza, &c
Il Teatro d'onore is a 1694 Italian printed book issued in Parma by the heirs of Galeazzo Rosati for the Ducal College of Nobles, recording prizes given to students of letters and chivalric arts and dedicated to Duke Ranuccio II. Its pictures are woodcut decorations: a large ornamental initial S set in dense foliage, a flourish-like ornament, a historiated initial D with a figure and putti, and a coat of arms held up by two winged female figures. A designer might take from them the stylised scrolled foliage, decorative capitals and heraldic framing typical of Baroque printed books.
