  • Since the discovery of Antonio Mancelli’s engraving of Madrid’s Plaza Mayor (ca.

    1623) in 2005, the identity of Iacobus Verulitius, the author of verses in one of its cartouches, has posed a puzzle. This article identifies Verulitius as the Flemish printer Jacques Vervliet and explores the implications of this identification for our understanding of the themes and the production of Mancelli’s print, the earliest image of the Plaza Mayor after its rebuilding the 1610s and 1620s.
