Della felicità di Padova
A 1623 Italian history of Padua by Angelo Portenari, printed in Padua by Pietro Paolo Tozzi and later owned by John Adams. The pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, one large capital each, with figures and scrolling foliage inside the letter forms, and a designer could borrow their framing of a letter within interlaced vine and acanthus ornament for display type or chapter openings.
