Le risposte cavalleresche
Le risposte cavalleresche is a 1550 Venetian treatise on dueling and chivalric conduct by Girolamo Muzio, printed by Gabriel Giolito de Ferrari and Fratelli for a readership of gentlemen. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a large letter framing figures in a landscape, with a pale ground and heavy black outlines a designer could borrow for decorative capitals.
