Antiqvae Tabvlae Marmoreae Solis effigie, symbolisque exculptae Accvrata Explicatio: Qua priscae quaedam mythologiae, ac nonnulla praeterea vetera monumenta marmorum, gemmarum, nomismatum illustrantur
A 1617 Latin antiquarian treatise by Girolamo Aleandro, printed for scholars, explaining ancient marble tablets, sun imagery and mythology with engraved plates. The engravings show a radiate sun-headed figure above a garland and lyre-like altar, a frieze of zodiac signs beneath a procession, and three gods with torches flanking a child on a goat, plus a circular seal reading ERYX. A designer might take from them the crisp black-line engraving, emblematic framing and classical ornament of early seventeenth-century learned print.
