I nomi antichi et moderni dell'antica citta di Roma & de tutti i popoli, provincie, citta, fiumi, monti, selue & altri luochi de tutta Italia, come al presente si adimandano
This is a 1550 Venetian printed gazetteer, issued at the sign of Hope, listing the ancient and modern names of Rome, Italian peoples, provinces, cities, rivers and mountains. Its pages carry a dense black-letter Italian text column with a decorated initial, and a woodcut of a robed female figure standing among ruined buildings, with an Italian motto in the margin, offering a compact model for layered text and emblematic imagery.
