This is a 1568 Italian account by Massimo Troiano of the festivities at the wedding of Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria, printed in Munich by Adamo Montano for courtly readers. The four pictures are small woodcut historiated initials and ornamental letters, with one letter framing a bearded figure in a scroll-work field and another filled with foliage and a grotesque mask, useful for decorative capitals, border framing, and Renaissance ornament.
