Commento deli Triumphi del Petrarcha is a 1497 Venetian printed commentary on Petrarch's Trionfi, printed by Bartholomaeus de Zanis and edited by Gabriello Bruno for a literate readership of humanist scholars and collectors. Its woodcut pages each sit inside an ornate architectural frame with a title word above, showing allegorical processions such as Death's triumph with chariots, ships and figures in a landscape, which a designer might take as models for framed, emblematic page layouts with classical borders.
