A 1625 Latin scholarly treatise on sacred oils and ointments by Fortunato Scacchi, printed in Rome by the heirs of Bartolomeo Zannetti for clerical and learned readers. Its pictures are four woodcut decorative initial letters, each a C enclosed in a ring of curling foliage with a leafy stem and scrolled corners, offering a designer a compact model for ornamental capitals and border framing.
