A 1655 Venetian printed collection of sacred motets for two, three and four voices by Giovanni Legrenzi, organist of Bergamo's Santa Maria Maggiore, dedicated to Prince Alessandro Farnese of Parma; its pictures are printer's ornaments, not musical notation. The first is a heraldic cartouche with fleurs-de-lis under a crown and scrolling acanthus, the second a shield with a motto ribbon and diamond-pattern field, and the third a large initial S framed by foliage and two standing figures, offering ready-made scrolls, shields and historiated initials for cartouche and border design.
