Epitome Annalium ecclesiasticorum Cæsaris Baronii...
An ecclesiastical history epitome by Cesare Baronio, with Giovanni Gabriello Bisciola's additions, printed in Venice in 1602 by Georgius Variscus and partners for a learned Latin-reading clerical and scholarly readership. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials, a framed scene of two figures in conversation, and an engraved coat of arms with a Latin motto, showing ornate leaf-scroll lettering and arched heraldic motifs a designer could borrow for monograms, drop caps, and heraldic crests.
