This title page showcases the Ziletti printer’s device, a comet and seven stars with their motto “inter omnes” (“among all”). Here Francesco Ziletti uses the device of his uncle, Giordano Ziletti, but with his own spin—most noticeably, the inclusion of two upside-down topless women who were not present in Giordano’s works.
