Discorso delle comete
An Italian astronomy treatise on comets by Mario Guiducci, printed in Florence in 1619 by the Cecconcelli press for a scholarly readership. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a decorative initial with a vase, a laurel-and-fruit cartouche enclosing a star and a motto, and a dense foliate border strip, offering designers compact models of Renaissance ornament for framing, initials, and label devices.
