Joachim, of Fiore, ca. 1132-1202, Anselm, bp. of Marsico, Regiselmo, Pasqualino, Barri, Gabriel, fl. 1554-1571, Porro, Girolamo, 1520-1604 · 1589 · Venetiis : Apud Hieronymum Porrum · 54 pictures

A 1589 Venetian printed edition of the prophecies attributed to Joachim of Fiore and Anselm of Marsico, issued by Hieronymus Porrus with engraved plates prepared from several manuscripts and edited by Pasqualino Regiselmo. The engravings show a row of standing popes, each numbered and set on a small grassy mound, with a single symbolic animal or object beside each figure. A designer could take from them the compact, repeated-figure format, with each figure isolated against blank paper and identified by a Roman numeral.
