Paulini
Illuminator who created the Alphabet of Paulini (1570). Beinecke Library writes: "Nothing is known of Paulini, the designer and engraver of this Mannerist alphabet--not even his first name. Each letter is a fantastic composite of human figures, botanical and marine specimens, landscapes or cityscapes, with a frame of arabesques, grotesques, putti, antique statuary, and the like. No two frames are identical. Each letter encapsulates a mythological episode from Ovid, A for Actaeon, B for Bacchus, C for Cadmus, etc. The Ovidian episode is illustrated behind each letter, and printed captions identify the figures." |
