A 1568 Roman book of engraved portraits by the Augustinian friar Onofrio Panvinio, published by Antonio Lafreri, presenting twenty-seven popes with their elogia and biographical inscriptions. The pictures are small, framed oval-style or rectangular engravings with a papal coat of arms above each sitter and a Latin name plate below, so a designer can study consistent portrait formats, heraldic devices and tiara and vestment details.
