Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
This is a collected edition of Italian scholarly writings by the cleric and historian Lodovico Antonio Muratori, printed in 1770 and held by Heidelberg University Library, with a part devoted to general antiquities. The pictures are typographic decorations: square woodcut initials containing a carved S, an ornate letter O set among leafy scrollwork, and historiated letters C and I framing small landscapes of buildings, walls and hills, a pattern a designer could adapt for decorative capitals and vignette frames.
