Epitome Annalium ecclesiasticorum Cæsaris Baronii...
Epitome Annalium ecclesiasticorum is a 1602 church history in Latin, compiled from Cesare Baronio's annals by Giovanni Gabriello Bisciola and printed in Venice by Georgius Variscus and partners for a learned clerical readership. Its pictures are decorative woodcut and engraved initials, a heraldic cartouche and a scrolled title panel, with dense foliage, cartouches and grotesque figures that suggest ready models for ornamental capitals, frames and historical border work.
