Ilustracion del renombre de grande principio, grandeza, y etimologia : pontifices, santos, emperadores, reyes, i varones ilustres, que le merecieron en la voz publica de los hombres
A 1638 Spanish treatise printed in Madrid by Francisco Martinez, written by Juan Antonio de Tapia y Robles on titles of honour and noble lineage, with woodcut ornaments by Pieter Perret for an educated readership of the Spanish court and clergy. The four pictures are small woodcut headpieces built on symmetrical frames of leaves, drapery tassels and scrollwork around a central face or figure, offering a designer a compact model for symmetrical emblem or ornament borders.
