Salviati, Lionardo, 1540-1589, Baldini, Vittorio, d. 1618 · 1587 · In Ferrara, Nella Stamparia di V. Baldini ... · 2 pictures

An oration in Italian by the courtier and academic Lionardo Salviati, printed by Vittorio Baldini in Ferrara in 1587 and delivered at the Ferrara Academy in honour of the late Duke Alfonso d'Este. The first picture is a woodcut of a robed woman holding a cup, with a banner reading 'negotii' above her, personifying an allegorical virtue. The second is a decorated initial C enclosing a winged griffin beside a small city, a motif a designer could adapt for historical ornament or heraldic emblems.

Este, Alfonso d', 1527-1587
