Mediolanenses antiquitates ex urbis paroecijs collectae : ichnographicis ispsarum tabulis, recentibus rerum memorijs, varijs ecclesiasticis ritibus auctę et illustratę
A 1625 Milanese antiquarian work by Giovanni Antonio Casteliono and Giovanni Paolo Bianchi, published in Milan by Giovanni Battista Bidelli, gathering ground plans and records of the city's parish churches and their rites for scholars and clergy. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments, each a winged mask-like face set within a scrolled cartouche above a shield-like panel with a flower, repeated with minor variations in carving and wear, useful to a designer for compact symmetrical emblem or heraldic device motifs.
