Specchio di virtu is a moral treatise on friendship, marriage and female chastity by Niccolò Granucci, printed in Lucca in 1566 by Busdrago for Francesco Fagiani, with examples meant to instruct readers in good living. Its small woodcut initials frame a seated figure in a round border, a standing figure beside a large letter A, and a group of figures gathered in a wreath, showing compact emblematic ornament a designer could adapt for decorative capitals and framed vignettes.
