And another zibie:


So, my two main questions are these:

1. This book was illustrated by Erasmus Hornick, a Flemish printmaker/goldsmith, who lived in Germany..... IS HE ILLUSTRATING A STYLE OF ITALY, OR HAS THE ZIB PHENOMENON LEAKED OUT INTO THE REST OF EUROPE?

2. The book that contains these pictures is called "Ornamental Silverware Designs"......ARE THE ZIBS SUPPOSED TO BE IN SILVER?? (I've only ever seen them in gold)
