Contra l'alchimia, e gli alchimisti palinodia Dell'argonautica
A 1606 Italian treatise printed in Naples by Gio. Giacomo Carlino, written by Angelo Ingegneri against alchemy and alchemists in the form of a palinode to the Argonautica, aimed at a learned readership. Its pictures are ornamental printers' devices: a scrolled cartouche with a central figure, a frieze of grotesque scrollwork, an ornate initial C with a winged figure, and a shield-like crest flanked by cherubs and garlands, all in woodcut, useful for designers seeking early modern Italian decorative borders, initials and cartouches.
