[Tutte le opere del famosissimo Ruzante : di nuovo con somma diligenza rivedute, et corrette : et aggiuntovi un sonnetto et una canzone dell'istesso autore ..
A 1584 Italian collection of the plays of Ruzzante, printed in Vicenza by Giorgio Greco, with its woodcut initials drawn from the Renaissance vernacular stage and the printing trade. The decorated letters are framed woodcuts showing figures in landscapes, classical scenes and rustic peasant life, with small architectural and pastoral backdrops. A designer can take from them the compact framing of a single letter within a border, and the way figures and foliage fill a tight square.
