Declamatione tvtta hiperbolica contra vna donna crvdele
A 1555 Venetian printed book, published by Plinio Pietrasanta and held by the Getty Research Institute, a rhetorical declamation against a cruel woman written in Italian and Latin. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, a decorative red initial, and a standing allegorical woman with a ribbon reading Virtus and Dei donum, so a designer might borrow the framed letter-in-scene format and the Renaissance ribbon-lettering device.
