Breue racconto della trasportatione del corpo di Papa Paolo V. dalla basilica di S. Pietro à quella di S. Maria Maggiore : con l'oratione recitata nelle sue esequie, & alcuni versi posti nell'apparato
A 1623 Italian account printed in Rome by the heirs of Bartolomeo Zannetti, describing the transfer of Pope Paul V's body from St Peter's to Santa Maria Maggiore, with a funeral oration and verses by Lelio Guidiccioni and others. The engraved plates show allegorical virtue figures standing or seated with inscribed pedestals, plus an ornamental cartouche with an eagle, a griffin and tasselled drapery, all suited to designers studying Baroque allegory and emblematic ornament.
