De Scala Sancta ante Sancta Sanctorum in Laterano culta opusculum
A Latin devotional treatise on the Holy Staircase at the Lateran in Rome, printed in 1672 at Rome by the Varesi press and written by Giuseppe Maria Soresini. Its pictures are small letterpress ornaments: a flower-filled initial-letter frame, a floral stem, a fruit and foliage swag, and a decorated capital P, all with clean woodcut-style line work that a designer could borrow for ornamental borders, dividers and drop caps.
