Francesco Corti (Franciscus Curtius), Pavia (birthdate
unknown) - 1495; Italian jurist, uncle of: Franceschino
Corti (also known as Franciscus Curtius),Pavia (birthdate
unknown) - Padova 1533; Italian jurist and diplomat.The
verses suggest that the younger Corti is depicted.
However, comparison with his portrait in Benavides s
Illustrium iureconsultorum imagines (1566) shows that the
appearance of Franceschino is completely different in
comparison to Galles portrait.This would imply that the
elder Corti is portrayed; his features are, however, not
included in Benavides s book. Engraved by Philips Galle,
verses by Frans van Ravelingen.
