To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
FIGINO 63 This seems clearly to refer to the figure of Lomazzo bending before Fortune. The inscription " Utriusque " may refer to the identification of Good Luck with Prudence which the poet makes in the first line. I confess to being unable to understand the point of " per furor di luna." The remainder of the sonnet (which is reprinted from the Rime by Casati) seems not to bear upon the medal. This medal is the source of the engraving which adorns the various title-pages of the editions of the... author's Trattato (Milan 1584) and Rime (Milan 1587). The second medal (of which there is another specimen at Brescia) is a good example of the work of Pier Paolo Galeotti, called il Romano. It was probably made at Florence, where Galeotti worked for the most part after 1550. It is evidently the piece mentioned, though not described, by Lomazzo in a sonnet which he sent with a specimen to Prospero Visconti [Rime, -p- ^SS)- As Annibale Fontana was a Milanese, it is possible that his medal was made at Milan, before Lomazzo went south.
