Pogii florentini Oratoris clarissimi facetiarvm
A 1512 Venetian printing of the jest book Facetiae by the Florentine humanist Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), held by the Getty Research Institute and printed for a learned Latin-reading audience. The single picture is a woodcut-style heraldic shield bearing three towers, with fine parallel hatching and a rope-like border, offering a designer a crisp model for emblem and coat-of-arms devices.
