Alcvne composizioni di diversi avtori in lode del ritratto della Sabina scolpito in marmo dall'eccellentissimo m. Giouanni Bologna, posto nella piazza del serenissimo gran duca di Toscana
A 1583 Florentine anthology of commendatory poems by several authors, printed by Bartolomeo Sermartelli, praising Giambologna's marble Rape of the Sabine in the Piazza della Signoria for the Grand Duke of Tuscany. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a letter enclosing a scene of figures in landscape, with armoured men, winged figures and rocky settings. A designer could take from them the compact, narrative capital-letter format for framing text with figurative vignettes.
