A 1755 Venetian mythological dictionary by André de Claustre, printed by Domenico Ferrarin, explaining the origins of pagan gods, demigods and heroes for readers of classical myth. Its plates are small engraved standing figures, each captioned with a name and framed beneath a page reference, showing allegorical personifications such as Peace with a serpent and a caduceus, Providence with a globe and a sceptre, and a spear-bearing warrior, arranged as a clean, repeatable format a designer could adapt for allegory or emblem work.
