Imprese dell' Offitioso, accademico intronato
Imprese dell' Offitioso, accademico intronato is a 1628 book of emblematic devices (imprese) compiled by Alcibiade Lucarini and printed in Siena by Ercole Gori for members of the Intronati academy. Its pictures are small woodcut emblems, each framed by a wreath or oval of leaves with a Latin motto on ribbons, showing trees, landscapes, birds and celestial motifs; a designer might borrow the compact wreath-and-banner framing and the way a single image and motto combine into one symbol.
