Dei teatri : dissertazione
Dei teatri is a 1754 dissertation on theatre written by Diego Rubin and printed in Milan at the ducal court press of Giuseppe Richino Malatesta, a text aimed at readers engaged in moral debate about the stage. Its single picture is a horizontal printer's headpiece showing a central bearded mask flanked by scrolling foliate ornament, which a designer could draw on for a decorative band or a theatrical frame motif.
