Applausi di Firenze per la canonizzazione di s. Filippo Benizi, propagatore dell' Ordine de' Serui di Maria Vergine
A 1672 Florentine printed book, issued by the Stamperia della Stella, celebrating the canonization of Saint Philip Benizi and commissioned by the Servite order. The four decorative headpieces and tailpieces show mirrored and printed ornament, with a winged female face flanked by scrolling foliage and rosettes, a symmetrical leafy finial, and a row of three robed figures under arched scrollwork; a designer could borrow their symmetrical framing devices and cartouche-like borders.
