Io: Francisci Bonomij Bononiensis Chiron Achillis, siue, Nauarchus humanæ uitæ : morali emblemate geminato ad felicitatis portum perducens
A 1661 Latin emblem book by Gian Francesco Bonomi, a Bolognese author, printed in Bologna by the Duccio heirs for scholarly readers of moral allegory. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a scrolled strapwork cartouche, two bearded masks framed by curling hair, and a second scrolled band with a central face, all in dense hatched black line that a designer could borrow for border, header or frame motifs.
