Another from the text on Spain in Italy during the sixteenth century. Could it mean "family crests and coats of arms" (that's my best guess, but I haven't been able to confirm it)?

devices and coats-of-arms
Martinez-Amador gives "devices" for empresas, presumably in the following sense:
an emblematic design (especially in heraldry); "he was recognized by the device on his shield"

In this context, the "escudos" are probably coats-of-arms, not shields.
