Published in Venice in 1519 by Nicolò Zopino and Vincenzo Compagno, this Italian Renaissance poetry collection by Bernardo Accolti of Arezzo, a papal secretary, gathers sonnets, capitoli, strambotti and a comedy for a literate reading public. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut scenes: a title-page frame with a seated scribe at a desk beneath an angel, and dense blocks of italic text with marginal headings, offering a designer ideas for early printed page layout and historic typography.
