Centvm fabvlae ex antiqvis scriptoribus acceptae, et graecis latinisq́; tetrastichis senarijs explicatae
A 1587 Venetian edition of Aesop-style fables in Greek and Latin verse, issued by the heirs of Francesco Ziletti for a learned readership of scholars and students. The woodcuts are small, crisp black-and-white blocks with a fine parallel hatching, showing animals and figures in woodland and rocky landscapes. A designer could draw on their compact narrative vignettes, dense hatching and bold outlines for storytelling or pattern work.
