Boccaccio's Ameto, a pastoral comedy printed in Venice in 1524 by Nicolo Zopino and Vicentio, is a dense text-only Italian Renaissance book with no illustrations on this page. The single picture is a full page of small blackletter-style roman type with a large decorated initial H opening the paragraph, showing how early sixteenth-century Venetian printers set justified columns and dropped capitals.
