A man, back to the viewer, is seen carrying a caduceus in his left hand. In the center of each border of the square that frames is a different image. At the top of the square is lion framed in a coat of arms; at the bottom is an open book with the title text upon the pages. On both the left and right sides are closed books with long stemmed flowers behind each. The book title on the left reads Il Purga Torio, and the title on the right reads Il Para Diso.
At the center of the bookplate, seven distinguished individuals are featured, with a laurel wreath surrounding the portrait. A caduceus and a quill pen intersect with each other in the background. Beneath the image is an open book; above is the motto Vita humana est sacra.
