Della risurrettione de' morti,
A 1556 Italian religious treatise on the resurrection of the dead, printed in Venice by Paolo Manutius and held by the John Carter Brown Library. The one picture is a heraldic coat of arms with a crested helmet, foliage mantling, and a motto scroll reading GAUDEO, likely an owner's or printer's device rather than an illustration of the text. A designer might take from it the dotted-field shield, scrolling acanthus-like mantling, and the chevron-and-bird charge arrangement as a model for emblematic ornament.
