Mondi celesti, terrestri, et infernali is a 1583 Italian book by Anton Francesco Doni, printed in Venice by N. Moretti for a general readership of learned and curious Italian readers. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials and small framed emblems, with the letter A set in scrolling foliage, a grotesque winged face, and a figure with a hoop in an oval cartouche, offering designers examples of Renaissance ornament built from acanthus scrolls, winged figures, and symmetrical framing.
