Le glorie de gli Incogniti : o vero gli huomini illustri dell'Accademia de' signori incogniti de Venetia
A 1647 Italian book printed in Venice by Francesco Valvasense for the Accademia degli Incogniti, a literary society, and written by Giacomo Piccini and others to celebrate its distinguished members. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, a large P, N, G and another P, each framed in a square border with dense interlaced foliage, scrolls and small figures that a designer could adapt for historical capitals and border ornament.
