Natalis Comitis Mythologiae, siue, Explicationis fabularum libri decem; in quibvs omnia prope naturalis et moralis philosophiae dogmata in veterum fabulis contenta fuisse perspicuè demonstratur
A 1616 Latin mythology handbook by Natale Conti, printed at Padua, written as a scholarly guide to classical fables for educated readers and students. Its pictures are small woodcuts: one shows seated figures in a landscape with a crowned man and a dog-like beast, the others a winged woman with crescent headdress and roundels, and a designer might borrow their compact framed layouts and ornamental borders.
