Arte di conoscere l'età de'codici latini e italiani
An 18th-century Italian scholarly treatise by Giovanni Crisostomo Trombelli, published in 1756, on dating Latin and Italian manuscripts, with its ornaments being printed headpieces and tailpieces in woodcut style. The pictures are ornamental woodcut vignettes of flowers, books, scrolls and urns, framed by rococo C-scroll borders, which a designer could use as period decorative elements for vintage typography, bookplates or headers.
