De dialogi d'amicizia

Salviati, Lionardo, 1540-1589 · 1564 · In Firenze : Appresso i Giunti · 2 pictures

A 1564 Italian dialogue on friendship by Lionardo Salviati, printed in Florence by the Giunti press and dedicated to Alamanno Salviati. The pictures are woodcut printer's devices: a central fleur-de-lis flanked by two figures on a pedestal bearing the motto NIL CANDIDIUS, and an ornamental framed emblem on the title page. A designer could draw on these compact, symmetrical, heraldic emblem frames for logo or monogram work.
