Esplicatione del sacro lenzuolo, oue fu inuolto il Signore et delle piaghe in esso impresse col suo pretioso sangue : confrontate con la scrittura sacra, profeti e padri, con pie meditationi de' dolori della Beata Verg.ne
Esplicatione del sacro lenzuolo is a 1599 Italian devotional treatise on the Holy Shroud by Alfonso Paleotti, printed in Bologna by the heirs of Gio. Rossi for readers of religious meditation. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, the decorated capital letters opening sections, with figures, scrolling foliage and framed scenes in black ink on cream paper, useful to a designer seeking Renaissance decorative lettering and ornamental letter frames.
