Parafrasi poetiche de' salmi di Davide

Capponi, Vincenzio, d. 1688 · 1682 · Firenze : V. Vangelisti · 5 pictures

A 1682 Florentine printing by Vincenzio Capponi of poetic paraphrases of the Psalms of David, a devotional verse book for readers of Italian religious poetry. Its pictures are small printed typographic ornaments: two near-identical strips of scrolling acanthus foliage in rectangular frames, a decorative initial with a page of Italian text, and a vase or urn of flowers set on a banded base, showing how baroque printers used repeated leaf borders and vessel motifs to frame text.
