San Silverio, Sigismondo di, 17th cent, Moneta, Paolo, 17th cent · 1685 · In Roma : Nella stamparia di Paolo Moneta · 1 picture

A 1685 Italian festival account printed in Rome by Paolo Moneta, written by Sigismondo di San Silverio to record the solemn translation of St Andrea Corsini's body in Florence. The picture is a page of printer's ornaments: a heraldic shield with a crown and motto ribbon, beside a dense scrolled cartouche of acanthus leaves. A designer could draw on its symmetrical scrollwork and heraldic framing for decorative borders and seal-like emblems.
