Descrizione del magnificentiss. apparato, e de' maravigliosi intermedi : fatti per la commedia rappresentata in Firenze nelle felicissime nozze degl'illustrissimi ed eccellentissmi signori il signor don Cesare d'Este, e la signora donna Virginia Medici
A 1586 Florentine account by Bastiano de' Rossi, printed by Giorgio Marescotti in Florence, describing the decorations and interludes for the wedding of Cesare d'Este and Virginia de' Medici. The four pictures are woodcut historiated initials, each letter framed by small scenes of figures at work and play, with one foliate initial in ornamental strapwork; a designer might take from them the compact pairing of a large letter with miniature narrative vignettes.
