Il battesimo del serenissimo prencipe di Piemonte fatto nella citta di Tvrino l'anno MDLXVII. il IX. di marzo : aggiontiui alcuni componimenti latini e volgari di diuersi, scritti nella solennità di detto battesimo
A 1567 Italian printed volume printed in Florence by the ducal press of the Torrentino family, recording the baptism of the Prince of Piedmont in Turin, with Latin and Italian verses by various writers. Its one picture is a decorative woodcut initial letter, a large capital T framed by a border and filled with acanthus-like scrolls and a rosette, set beside the text columns. A designer could take from it a model for a historiated or ornamental drop cap built from interlaced foliage, scrolling leaves and a dense woodcut hatching style.
