La guerra fatta da christiani contra barbari per la ricuperatione del sepolcro di Christo et della Givdea
A 1549 Venetian printing by Giolito de Ferrari of Benedetto Accolti's Italian history of the Crusades, held by Duke University's Gilbert Collection. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each letter framing a figure: a reclining man beside a large R, a seated figure within an N, and a bearded man with attendants inside an E in two near-identical versions. Their compact, hatched line work and figures set inside letter forms suit designers seeking early modern decorative capitals and framed narrative vignettes.
