University Dr. Helena Szepe, PhD : Genuine portrait of Girolamo dai
Libri from 1500's (16th century). Renaissance portrait of Girolamo dai
Libri, 1474-1555, artist from Verona, Italy. Oil painting on the wooden

Veronese. Size of the icon without frame: 9 x 6.5 inches = 228 x 166 mm.
Thickness of the board without frame: 6 mm; Weight of the icon without
frame: 6 oz = 180 g; Weight of the icon with a frame: 1 lb 4 oz = 600 g;
In the lower part of the painting it is written: "Hieronimus a
Libris Pict. Minator Ver.",- that translated from Latin means:
"Girolamo Dai Libri Painter Illuminator from Verona". Yes,
Girolamo was a great painter and illustrator of illuminated books. In
the back, it is written the same thing in the higher part; the reading
of the lower part is difficult, because partly washed away, but it seems
that somebody has repeated the previous capital inscription in italic
type: "mani" - is probably the final part of word (Hiero)nimi
Libri ... Veronese (that means from the town of Verona). The half word
"tribu" is hard to understand because not complete. Yes,
Hieronimus is the Latin name for Girolamo.
