Fabvlae centvm ex antiqvis avctoribvs delectae et a Gabriele Faerno Cremonensi carminibvs explicatae
A Latin book of one hundred fables in verse, compiled by Gabriele Faerno of Cremona with illustrations attributed to Pirro Ligorio, printed in Rome in 1564 for a learned humanist readership. Its pictures are small, finely hatched woodcut-style prints of animals and figures in woodland and seascape settings, with clear narrative gestures a designer could adapt for emblem-like compositions or storytelling panels.
