Filli di Sciro : favola pastorale
Filli di Sciro is a pastoral play by Guidubaldo Bonarelli, printed in Ferrara in 1607 by Vittorio Baldini for an educated literary readership. Its pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a grotesque mask flanked by scrolling beasts, a heraldic shield between winged figures, an inhabited initial letter, and a foliate cartouche, all in dense black line that a designer could adapt for decorative borders, monograms, and period-styled headers.
