Cronica istoriale di Tremiti
Cronica istoriale di Tremiti is a 1606 Italian chronicle printed in Venice by Giovanni Battista Colosino, written by Benedetto Cocarella, Alberto Vintiano and Pietro Paolo di Ribera, probably for readers interested in the history of the Tremiti islands. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, such as a P and two N's, with interlacing foliage, scrollwork and fantastical creatures, offering designers a model for ornamental capitals framed by vine and bird motifs.
