A 1560 Latin history of the Italian city of Padua by the canon Bernardino Scardeone, printed in Basel by Nicolaus Episcopius the younger, covering its antiquity, notable citizens and tombs for a learned readership. The pictures are small woodcut prints: an oval view of a dense walled city with towers and a river beside a Latin inscription, and a square decorative initial Q framing a figure with foliage and a seated woman, offering designers period city-view and ornamental letter models.
