Monvmenta patavina is a 1652 Latin antiquarian volume compiled by the Paduan count Sertorio Orsato, published in Padua by Paulus Frambottus, documenting Paduan sepulchral monuments and inscriptions for scholars and collectors. Its pictures are small woodcut ornamental headpieces and tailpieces, mostly carved brackets with scrolling acanthus, cherub faces, winged beasts, and hanging pendants, which a designer could draw on for decorative borders, cartouches, or classical ornament.
