L'Argonavtica del s. Francesco Cini : rappresentata in Arno per le nozze del sereniss. d. Cosimo de Medici, principe di Toscana, e della serenissima arcidvchessa Maria Maddalena d'Avstria : Firenze, l'anno MDCVIII
Printed in Florence in 1608 by Cristofano Marescotti, this libretto by Francesco Cini describes a mythological water pageant on the Arno staged for the wedding of Grand Duke Cosimo II de' Medici and Maria Maddalena of Austria. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments, a city view, a coat of arms with cherubs, and a wide engraved view of ships on the river, which a designer could draw on for decorative frames, heraldic cartouches, and ship-filled panoramas.
