An Italian ecclesiastical history of the churches and pious places of Ferrara and its diocese, written by Marcantonio Guarini and printed in Ferrara in 1621 by the heirs of Vittorio Baldini. The four pictures are decorated woodcut initial letters (I, S, A, S) set in square frames of interlaced foliage, grotesques and scrolling vine ornament, useful to a designer seeking historical Italian letterforms and decorative borders.
