Danielis Eremitae Belgae Panegyricvs Cosmo Medices fer. fil. magno hetruriae principi dictus, cum faustissimo omine D. Mariae Magdalenae, Austriacae, Car. F. Augustae, nuptiarum sacris initiaretur
A Latin panegyric printed in Florence in 1608 by Michelangelo Sermartelli, written by the Flemish poet Daniel L'Ermite for the wedding of Cosimo II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and Archduchess Maria Maddalena of Austria. The three pictures are woodcut ornaments: a grotesque mask with scrolls, a heraldic cartouche flanked by winged putti, and a historiated initial showing a robed figure reaching toward a bird. A designer might take the scrolled grotesque framing and the putto-supported cartouche as models for ornamental borders and emblem layouts.
