Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
A collected edition of works by the Italian scholar Lodovico Antonio Muratori, printed in 1768 and held by Heidelberg University Library, with its record filed under antiquities in general. The four pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a decorated initial O, a square S block, a flower-and-scroll headpiece, and a heraldic cartouche with arms and trophies. A designer could draw on their dense interlaced scrollwork, framed initials and symmetrical baroque cartouches for borders and monograms.
