Origini Italiche O Siano Memorie Istorico-Etrusche Sopra L'Antichissimo Regno D'Italia, E Sopra I Di Lei Primi Abitatori Nei Secoli Più Remoti
Origini Italiche is an 1767 Italian antiquarian treatise on Etruscan and early Italic history by Mario Guarnacci, held by Heidelberg University Library and written for scholars of ancient Italy. Its decorative headpieces and ornaments are letterpress woodcuts of rococo scrollwork, baskets of fruit and flowers, and garlands, which a designer could draw on for ornamental borders, cartouches and vintage frame motifs.
