Dialoghi di M. Speron Speroni : nuouamente ristampati, & con molta diligenza riueduti, & corretti
A 1544 Venetian printed dialogue collection by Sperone Speroni, issued by Francesco Lorenzini da Torino and concerned with women and language, written in Italian for a literate humanist readership. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a grotesque mask within scrolled cartouche borders, a horned monster beside a walled town, a figure in a thicket, and a serpent-entwined staff with a hand, offering a designer compact, period-authentic decorative vignettes and printer's devices.
