L'idea del principe politico christiano
A 1684 Venetian printing of Diego de Saavedra Fajardo's emblem book on the education of a Christian political prince, published by Nicolò Pezzana and translated by Paris Cerchiari, aimed at rulers and students of statecraft. Its pictures are woodcut emblems, each a framed device with a motto and a small scene from nature or daily life, showing how a visual image can carry a moral or political maxim in a compact oval or cartouche.
