Chronica do felicissimo rei Dom Emanuel,
A 1566 Portuguese chronicle of King Manuel I by Damião de Góis, printed in Lisbon by Francisco Correa for the cardinal infante's household and kept at the John Carter Brown Library. The pictures are woodcut historiated initials, large capitals A, R, S and N set into vine scrolls, foliage and small figures, with the body text running beside them in a dense black-letter-like roman type. A designer could take from them the stylised scrolling foliage, the framed capital letter and the way a figure is tucked into a letterform.
