As there are so few dragons in the patterns, I thought I’d share these from _Ornamento nobile per ogni gentil matrona, dove si contiene bavari_ published under Parasole’s name in 1620. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10526091w It is the same book as 1596’s _Corona delle nobili et virtuose donne , libro quinto_ by Vecellio. I’ve included the Parasole as the individual bavari or partlet designs are published one to a page with some text rather than being flipped to get more on each page, so it is easier to isolate the designs. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1510815v/f11.item
