Raccolta dell' armi antiche e moderne de nobili ferraresi : con l'origine loro sin hora trouate
A 1689 Italian heraldry book printed in Ferrara by the Stampa Camerale for its noble readers, compiled by Count Alfonso Maresti to record the arms and origins of Ferrarese nobility. The pictures are repeated woodcut-style vase-of-flowers initials and borders, with a scrolled cartouche frame, flowering stems, and hanging fruit swags that a designer could borrow for ornamental framing.
