Monvmentorvm Italiae is a 1592 Latin book of inscriptions and epitaphs from Italian monuments, compiled by Lorenz Schrader and printed at Helmstedt for a scholarly readership. Its four woodcut ornamental cartouches, each a symmetrical frame of scrolls, tassels, and masks, show Renaissance strapwork a designer could adapt for decorative borders, title panels, or heraldic frames.
