Della poesia rappresentativa & del modo di rappresentare le favole sceniche : discorso
Della poesia rappresentativa is a 1598 Italian treatise on writing and staging dramatic plays by Angelo Ingegneri, printed in Ferrara by Vittorio Baldini for scholars and theatre readers. Its four woodcut pictures are printers' ornaments: a decorated initial N and a large I with figures in clouds, a grotesque mask set in scrolled cartouche, and a rose spray with leaves. A designer could draw on these for interlace initials, grotesque ornament and Renaissance botanical borders.
