Joachim, of Fiore, ca. 1132-1202, Anselmus, Bp. of Marsicus, Pasqualino, Giovannini, Girolamo, da Capugnano. Vaticinia .., Barboncini, Pietro Francesco (autograph) · 1600 · Venetiae, Bertonus · 74 pictures

A 1600 Venetian printed collection of prophecies attributed to Joachim of Fiore and Anselmus, Bishop of Marsicus, edited by Pasqualino Regiselmi and issued by the Venetian printer Bertonus for readers of apocalyptic prophecy. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a grotesque mask head with scrolling border, a cartouche-style strip, and a decorated initial letter in foliage, with the initials in the lower frame showing figures. A designer could take from them the dense scrolled borders, acanthus foliage and grotesque faces typical of late sixteenth-century print ornament.
