Il Tancredi : tragedia del conte di Camerano
Il Tancredi is a 1588 Italian tragedy by Federigo Asinari, conte di Camerano, printed in Bergamo by Comino Ventura and edited by Gherardo Borgogni for a literary readership. Its pictures are decorated woodcut initials, each a large letter framed by scrolling foliage, with cherub faces, grotesque winged creatures and satyr-like figures, offering a designer a dense vocabulary of Renaissance ornament for capitals and border frames.
