Scelta D'alcuni Miracoli e Grazie della Santissima Nunziata Di Firenze
A 1619 Italian devotional collection of miracles and graces of the Santissima Nunziata of Florence, compiled by Giovanni Angelo Lottini and edited by Tomasz Gryglewicz, and catalogued as part of the Cicognara illustrated works. The pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, L, N, and M, built from curling acanthus scrolls, foliage and flourishes framing bold black strokes. A designer could draw on their dense, hand-cut ornament for historical borders, drop caps and monogram lettering.
