I capitani. Con alcuni discorsi curiosi
An Italian military biography printed in Turin in 1607 by G. D. Tarino and written by Giovanni Botero, intended for readers interested in soldiers and captains. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initial letters, the first two a tall I flanked by winged griffin-like beasts with scrolling foliage, the others an L and an E framed by acanthus scrolls and a seated figure, useful to a designer seeking ornamental capital letters with heraldic animals and vine borders.
