Memorie historiche di diverse famiglie nobili : così napoletane, come forastiere, così vive, come spente, con le loro arme : e con un trattado dell'arme in generale : dicise in tre libri
A 1691 Neapolitan genealogical history by Biagio Aldimari, printed in Naples by Giacomo Raillard, cataloguing noble families of the Kingdom of Naples, both native and foreign, with their coats of arms and a treatise on heraldry for readers interested in lineage. The pictures are crisp black-and-white woodcut and engraved devices: rows of small shield designs in neat grids, cartouche-like ornaments with scrolling acanthus leaves and birds, and an allegorical plate of a winged figure seizing a struggling woman, offering a designer clear models for heraldic layout and baroque ornament.
