This pattern is copied exactly from the first (P. 9a) of the Italian engravings de-
scribed by Passavant. The central medallion was designed expressly to contain the
words academia . leonardi vi~ci. In the original the euds of the riband by
which the medallion is suspended are carried round outside the circle and gracefully
arranged. In the copy only the knot is drawn ; the riband ends abruptly close to the
knot. The only innovation in the woodcut consists in laying the central part of the
pattern on a circular black ground, and the four outlying portions upou black leaves
with graceful tendrils, each connected by a stalk with the black disk. In tlie line-
engraving, the outermost member of the concentric bands of omament stands out upon
a white background, and each of the outlying patterns is entirely separated from thc
centre; the interstices of all parts of the pattern are shaded by cross-hatching.
