mentioned by Cicognara (ed. 1824, v, p.404), but no specimen
has otherwise been recorded. It was presumably signed,
otherwise Cicognara would hardly have made the attribution
to Giulio della Torre. Arm. I, 133, 19.

The reverse inscription, which seems to mean ‘ the son’s
rendering of gratitude, in the shape of an imitation of
nature ’, must be taken as equivalent to a signature by
Giulio della Torre. The figure on the reverse may be
Girolamo himself, in the attitude of an ancient philosopher.
The meaning of the little figure in his hand is obscure.
He died in 1506 in his sixty-second year; as he looks
hardly that age, the medal must be an early work of his
son’s.

Girolamo, eldest son of Giulio, was provost of the
cathedral (ecclesiae maioris) of Verona. Friedl, and Arm,,
following Maffei’s illustration, read PRALPO ECLESIE;
a modern reproduction in the Valton Collection gives
PREPO* ECLESIE The true reading is probably as on
the other medal of the same man (see Friedl., who says
that the two have the same obv.); the first E of Ecclesie is
partly obscured by the cap, and the first C has been taken
for an E.

Friedlander gives PRALPO, by error. A modern cast
in the Valton Coll, reads CCLESIE, the obscure first E
having dropped out.
The attribution is supported by the identity of the obverse
with that of the preceding medal.
