Catalogue Note
The texts in this volume, gathered by Ravisius, are excerpts from works by Plutarch, Jacobus Philippus Foresti (the bulk of the volume), Jean de Pins, Battista Fregoso and Raffaele Maffei, as well as a few items written by Ravisius himself. Foresti's work on famous women had been published originally in 1497.
