at the Imperial Court
and public games, as in war’ [Fig. 4.26].90 A few of these drawing may derive
from ancient coins or monuments, but they also include helmets reminiscent
of medieval armour (fols. 30/28, 31/29, 39/37, 45/43, 79/77) [Fig. 4.30], as well as
turbans or headdresses inspired by the Turks and other oriental peoples (fols.
21/19, 37/35, 48/46, 63/61, 65/67) [Fig. 4.31]. But most of them are extravagant
and fanciful mannerist designs, helmets ‘all’antica’ intended for contemporary
use in jousts and other festivities, rather than as antiquarian documentation
(fols. 81/79–90/88) [Figs. 4.27 and 4.29].
Strada did not limit himself to the headpieces included in the Galearum
antiquarum, as is clear from the festival drawings in the miscellaneous third
volume, which include a few designs for other separate elements of such cos-
tumes, such as the leg-piece of a suit of armour and elements of horse’s trap-
pings [Figs. 4.32–4.34].91
Like Strada’s libri di disegni filled with ornamental vases, the drawings in Ga-
learum antiquarum were based on more or less contemporary designs which
were part of the material in his collection, such as the vase designs by Giulio
Romano. Thus the one drawing which I have found to date corresponding to
90 Galearum antiquarum cristatarum quibus olim Graeci et Romani, atque alii etiam populi
tam in spectaculis et ludis publicis, quam in bellis usi sunt, formae atque imagines ex aeneis
atque marmoreis statuis tum etiam ex aeneis, argenteis aureisque numismatibus desump-
tae, et elegantissimae aptissimeque delineatae. Ex Musaeo Jacobi de Stradae Mantuani
Caess. Antiquarii civis Romani, önb-hs, Cod. min. 21,1; the material is preserved together
with other material from Strada’s workshop, including the festival drawings.
91 önb-hs, Cod. min. 21,3, fol. 343/60; fols. 333/50 and 334/51.

documentary drawings of a design for an ornamental helmet in the
antique manner; Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. min.

Figure 4.28 Anonymous, design for an ornamental helmet in the antique manner,
which is the probable source for the drawing in Srada’s Galearum anti-
quarum; New York, private collection.
