Diporto de viandanti, nel qvale si leggono facetie, motti, & burle : raccolte da diuersi, et graui auttori, et accresciuto di molt'altre
Diporto de viandanti is an Italian collection of jests, witticisms and pranks gathered from various authors and published by Christoforo Zabata in Treviso in 1600 through Fabritio Zanetti. The pictures are decorative woodcut initials, a large letter E and a letter A framed by foliage, leaves and curling tendrils, with a smaller ornamented initial set into a line of text. A designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut botanical borders and the way a single capital is built out of interlaced vines and scrolls.
