A 1584 Florentine heraldry treatise by the Italian churchman Vincenzo Borghini, printed by the Giunti press in Florence for scholarly readers. Its pages are rows of shield outlines filled with divisions, charges and tinctures, drawn in woodcut-style line and hatching, and a designer could draw on their simple, repeatable shield silhouettes and geometric partition patterns.
