Granucci, Niccolò, 1521-1603, Adams, John, 1735-1826, former owner. MB (BRL), John Adams Library (Boston Public Library) MB (BRL) · 1564 · In Lucca : Per il Busdrago · 1 picture

A 1564 Italian legal treatise printed in Lucca by Il Busdrago, written by Niccolò Granucci on the dignity and honour of jurists, owned later by John Adams and held in the Boston Public Library. Its single picture is a small woodcut of a winged dragon-like creature with a coiled tail, its wing shapes built from parallel hatched lines, a plain printer's device rather than a narrative scene that a designer might borrow for heraldic or fantasy motifs.
