Petri Pauli Boschae bibliothecarii, ex sodalitio Sacerdotum Oblatorum, De origine et statu bibliothecae Ambrosianae hemidecas
A 1672 Latin treatise on the origins and state of the Ambrosian Library in Milan, written by the librarian Pietro Paolo Bosca and printed by Ludovico Monti for a scholarly readership of churchmen and librarians. Its four pictures are printed ornaments: a symmetrical scroll panel with a central oval cartouche, a historiated initial P with flowers and leaves, and a frieze of winged putti flanking an urn, all in dense woodcut-style line work that suits decorative borders, frames, and initial letters.
