De dictis factisq; memorabilibus collectanea:
A 1509 Latin collection of memorable sayings and deeds, compiled by Battista Fregoso, Doge of Genoa, and printed in Milan for a scholarly readership. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials, large letters set in black frames with white vine scrolls, leaves and flourishes, showing how printers ornamented the opening of each section and could be reused as graphic framing devices.
