1612 · Brixiae : Per Bartholomȩum Fontanam · 40 pictures

A 1612 Latin collection of sayings from fifty lost Greek comic poets, printed in Brescia by Bartolomeo Fontana for scholars and readers of classical literature. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials and decorative letters, with the letters L, N, M and a fourth ornamented capital framed in interlaced foliage, scrollwork and hatched shading, a useful reference for designers seeking Renaissance display capitals and border ornament.
