Ad Leonardum Mocenicum Veronae praetorem illustrissimum : in patriam se recipere parentem carmen
A Latin poem by Bartolomeo Tortoletti, printed in Verona in 1596 by Hieronymus Discipulus and addressed to the Venetian governor Leonardo Mocenigo. The single picture is a printer's ornament framing a central oval with two roses stacked on a dark ground, flanked by scrolled cartouche-work and grotesque heads at top and bottom. A designer might take from it the symmetrical oval cartouche, the scrolled frame with masks, and the rose motif as a compact emblem device.
