Delle attioni, et sentenze del s. Alessandro de' Medici, primo duca di Fiorenza
A 1564 Venetian printed book by Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari recounting the deeds and sayings of Alessandro de' Medici, first Duke of Florence, probably aimed at readers interested in princely rule and justice. The pictures are small woodcut initials and a decorative headpiece, with a chariot-driving figure, a bird holding a sunburst above a shield, and a standing pair of figures under a tree, showing how compact emblematic woodcut ornament can carry a story within a letter frame.
