Engraved t.p. Engraved plates depict obverse and reverse of Roman medals, ten to a page, with some positions left blank. Two historiated woodcut initials, two end-pieces

Binding: old calfskin. Boards gold stamped at center with arms of a duke of Savoy, perhaps Charles Emmanuel I (1562-1630). The arms are circled by the collar of the Order of the Annunciation.
