Lettera dell'illvstre s. Costanzo Landi, conte di Compiano, sopra vna impresa d'vn pino : con i motti postovi, & con la dechiaratione di tutta la natura del pino
A 1560 Milan letter by Costanzo Landi, Count of Compiano, printed by Giovanni Antonio degli Antonii, explaining an emblem of a pine tree with its mottoes and the natural history of the pine. The three pictures are woodcut initials and an emblem: a letter I with a child and a wolf-like beast, a letter S with a sun and a figure in a niche-like frame, and a pine tree with the motto MITH ZAIHT held by a hand amid flames, all in crisp black line with hatched shading a designer could borrow for emblematic borders.
