7.  Andrea Alciati, Emblemata

This edition with a beautiful engraved title-page [1], first published by P.P. Tozzi of Padova in 1621, is what one may call the 'Variorum' edition of Alciato, containing commentaries by Claude Mignault and Lorenzo Pignoria (1571-1631), a Paduan classicist. In the Preface, Pignoria criticised the inaccuracy of classical references in the earlier edition of Alciato, leading Tozzi to revise illustrations in the 1618 edition.

The 1661 edition is the reprint of the 1621 while most of the woodcuts go back to the 1618 edition.
