Di Gerusalemme conquistata.

Di Gerusalemme conquistata is Torquato Tasso's Italian epic poem, printed in Paris in 1595 by Abel L'Angelier for a general readership of Italian-speaking readers. The two pictures are woodcut decorated initials: a large M with a winged figure and foliage, and a V filled with scrolling acanthus leaves and a grotesque face, useful to designers wanting dense Renaissance ornamental capitals with figures set into the letterform.
