Alciati was a scholar, author, and lawyer, best known for having applied humanist philological methods to legal studies. He taught at Avignon, Bourges, and worked in Milan, Pavia, Bologna and for Ercole II d'Este in Ferrara. In the art world, he is known for the very successful book "Emblematum liber," which he compiled in his spare time ca. 1520. It was originally a collection of Latin epigrams, many from the "Anthologia Graeca," published in 1494.
