I contenti : comedia
A sixteenth-century Italian comedy by Gerolamo Parabosco, printed in Venice in 1586 by the heirs of Bortolamio Rubin. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials set in square frames, mostly built from scrolling foliage, interlaced ornament, and a figure in one letter, so a designer could borrow their compact framed-letter structure and dense line-cut ornament for display capitals.
