Le Imagini De I Dei De Gli Antichi Nelle Qvali Si Contengono gl'Idoli, Riti, ceremonie, & altre cose appartenenti alla Religione de gli Antichi
Vincenzo Cartari's 1571 Italian illustrated handbook of ancient gods, published in Venice by Vincenzo Valgrisi with engravings by Bolognino Zaltieri, aimed at readers of classical mythology and iconography. The pictures are small etched scenes of classical deities, figures and attributes set in open landscapes, with dense hatching and a lean, linear line a designer could borrow for mythological motifs and antique-style decoration.
