Caesenae chronologia is a 1643 Latin history of Cesena, Italy, by Bernardino Manzoni, printed at Pisa, covering its bishops, rulers, and notable citizens in alphabetical order. The four pictures are typographic headpieces and initials: a large ornate S with scrollwork, an I flanked by birds on a pedestal, a decorated C enclosing a rosette, and a papal coat of arms with crossed keys and tiara. A designer might draw on their interlace, bird motifs, and cut-out letterforms for monograms or chapter openers.
