Dialogo de' givochi che nelle vegghie sanesi si vsano di fare
Girolamo Bargagli's 1572 Dialogo on the games played at Sienese vigils, printed in Siena by Luca Bonetti, is a sixteenth-century Italian treatise on festival customs and social games. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: an oval cartouche with crossed mallets and a bag, a historiated initial H with mounted combat and a lion-like creature, and a flowering vine border, offering a designer compact models for framing devices, initials and border strips.
