Capitoli della bellezza
Capitoli della bellezza is an early seventeenth-century Italian printed book by Marcello Macedonio, issued in Venice in 1605 by Giovanni Battista Ciotti, held by the Getty Research Institute. Its pictures are printed ornamental initials, arabesque strapwork bands and scrolled borders in woodcut, showing how decorative type furniture was built from repeated, mirrored motifs that a designer could adapt for display lettering or frames.
