Orazione fvnerale di m. Benedetto Varchi : fatta, e recitata da lui pubblicamente nell'essequie di Michelagnolo Bvonarroti in Firenze, nella chiesa di San Lorenzo ..
A 1564 Florentine funeral oration by Benedetto Varchi, printed by the Giunti press in Florence for mourners of Michelangelo Buonarroti. Its pictures are small woodcut initials and ornamental frames: a figure-filled letter D showing two struggling men with a bow and a sword, and framed heraldic emblems with a fleur-de-lis and a shield of roundels set among cherubs, scrolls, and grotesque masks. A designer could take from them compact, dense ornamental framing that works well inside a small rectangular or oval panel.
