You might want to have a look at a series Garland put out in the 70s, facsimile editions of Renaissance mythographers. Natale Conti is #11 in the series, Cartari # 12 and Valeriano #17.
Conti, Natale, 1520-1582 Mythologiae, Venice, 1567 / Natalis Comes New York : Garland Pub., 1976 Cartari, Vincenzo, b. ca. 1500 Le imagini ... degli dei / Vincenzo Cartari New York : Garland Pub., 1976 Valeriano, Pierio, 1477-1560 Hieroglyphica : Lyon, 1602 / G. P. Valeriano Bolzani New York : Garland Pub., 1976 The whole series (if you can find a library that has it) is wonderful to browse through, but it's hard on the eyes after a while.
