Prose de' signori accademici Gelati di Bologna ... : colle loro imprese anteposte a' discorsi
A 1671 Bolognese prose collection by members of the Accademia dei Gelati, printed in Bologna by the Manolessi press for an academy audience, with each academician's emblem placed before his discourse. The pictures are woodcut and engraved decorations: a heraldic tailpiece with rampant lions flanking a shield, a large foliated initial letter, and two baroque cartouches with lions, a crown and a mask, so a designer might take ornamental symmetry, heraldic framing and scrolled cartouche structure from them.
