A 1530 Latin book printed in Paris by Simon de Colines, written by Geoffroy Tory, offering verse couplets to be placed above rooms in town and country houses, with seven epitaphs on love. Its pictures are small woodcut emblems of hearts pierced by arrows, a rowed boat, and a leaping horse, plain line work a designer could adapt for love-themed motifs, borders, or tattoo-style marks.
