Iacobi Philippi Tomasini ... Petrarcha Redivivvs: Integram Poetae celeberrimi Vitam Iconibus aere caelatis exhibens ; accessit nobilissimae feminae Laurae brevis historia
Iacobi Philippi Tomasini's 1650 Petrarcha Redivivus is a Latin illustrated biography of the poet Petrarch, written by Tomasini with a supplementary history of Laura by Pietro Paolo Vergerio, compiled for scholarly readers. Its pictures are engraved plates showing a tomb monument, a meeting of two figures in a hilly landscape, and a profile portrait of Laura with a flower inside an oval frame, plus a town view in the frontispiece. A designer might take from them the restrained, ruled-line engraving style, the oval portrait framing, and the classical stone architecture of the tomb.
