Notizie Istoriche Delle Chiese Fiorentine: Divise ne' suoi Quartieri: Del quartiere di S. Ma. Novella: 1: con appendice al secondo tomo
An eighteenth-century Italian ecclesiastical history of Florentine churches, written by Giuseppe Richa and published in 1755 for readers interested in the city's churches and monuments. Its pictures are small woodcut initials, each a letter D, I, N or L framing a playful winged putto that climbs, leans or perches against the letter, with simple landscape backgrounds of hills, boats and buildings, a useful model for decorative capitals and cherub motifs.
