La pentesilea : tragedia
La pentesilea is a 1614 Italian tragedy in verse by Francesco Bracciolini, printed in Florence by G. Donato and B. Giunti and held by Duke University Libraries. The pictures are four printed decorative initial letters, I, V, A and D, each framed in a square with ornate scrollwork, foliage and a central shield-like form, suited to designers seeking historic display capitals and border ornament.
