Elogia abbatvm sacri Monasterij Casinensis : ad rum. patrem d. Simplicivm Caffarellvm, congregationis casinensis praesidem generalem
A 1630 Neapolitan printed book by Marco Antonio Scipione, issued in Naples by Ottavio Beltrano, collecting lives of the abbots of the Benedictine monastery at Montecassino and dedicated to its congregation's president. Its initial letters are woodcut historiated and foliate panels, framed in dense scrollwork with grotesque faces, putti and acanthus, which a designer could draw on for decorative capitals, frames and ornamental borders.
