Historia della Madonna santissima d'Oroppa : ne' monti della citta di Biella nel Piemonte : diuisa in libri trè ..
A 1659 Italian devotional history of the Madonna of Oropa, printed in Turin by Giovanni Battista Agilio and written by Nicolas Auroux, recounting the shrine in the Biella mountains of Piedmont. Its four small headpieces are woodcut ornaments: a dark blackletter-style scrollwork cartouche repeated twice, a urn-shaped vase of flowers, and a grotesque mask with hanging tassels, useful for designers seeking early modern printed ornament and flourish motifs.
