Diuersarum nationum habitus (1589) — Pietro Bertelli

The Diuersarum nationum habitus by Pietro Bertelli is a collection of over a hundred engravings about how the people of the world dressed, with particular emphasis on Venice, its dominions and neighbours.

It was printed in three volumes, in numerous versions with different sets of prints, between 1589 and 1596.

While the introductions are in Italian, the title pages and the legends for the prints are in Latin.

The images reproduced on this site are from a copy in the National Library of Florence, with all three volumes bound together, from 1591, 1594, and 1596 respectively.
