An Italian political treatise compiled by Comino Ventura, printed in Vicenza in 1602 by Giorgio Greco for statesmen and students of political science. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials: the first three are ornate letters with interlaced foliage, scrollwork and curling tendrils, and the fourth is a framed block letter enclosing two small figures or heads, all suited to borrowing for hand-lettered headers or drop caps.
