Lettere di principi : le quali o' si scrivono da principi, ò à principi, o'ragionan di principi ...
A 1564 Venetian collection of Italian letters, printed by Giordano Ziletti and associated with Saint Charles Borromeo, aimed at readers of princely correspondence. Its pictures are small woodcut emblems and decorative initials: an oval cartouche with a star and ribbon scroll, a second star cartouche in ornate framing, and historiated capitals showing a lion and a seated figure beside a large letter I; a designer might borrow the framed-initial and star-cartouche motifs for period-styled ornament.
