This is a 15th-century Latin astronomy and astrology text printed in Ferrara by Pellegrino Agli, listing Marcus Manilius's Astronomica with earlier owners Pierre Pithou and Domenico Grimani. The single picture is an ex-libris armorial device: a crowned oval shield of fleur-de-lis beside a quartered coat of arms, framed by foliage, ribbons and a tassel. A designer could draw on its symmetrical heraldic cartouche, with crown, shields and wreath, as a model for emblems or bookplates.
