Parnassus biceps is a 1627 Frankfurt book by Jean Jacques Boissard, printed for publisher Wilhelm Fitzer, presenting Muses and classical oracular seers with Latin verses. The engraved plates show standing robed figures with attributes such as books, scrolls, torches, tripods and animals, arranged in simple frames, offering a designer a reference for classical costume and emblematic props.
