Pallade pronuba is a 1696 academic tribute printed in Modena by Bartolomeo Soliani, offered by the students of the Collegio de' Nobili to Duke Rinaldo I d'Este and Princess Charlotte Felicitas of Brunswick on their wedding. The pictures are small woodcut pieces: a strapwork-framed printed heading reading ARGOMENTO, and a historiated initial showing a seated figure playing a stringed instrument under a sunburst, with a designer's takeaway in decorative framing and figure-led initials.
