Facetie, fabule, motti del Piouano Arlotto is a 1538 Italian collection of jokes and anecdotes about the Florentine priest Arlotto Mainardi (1396-1483), printed in Venice by Bernardino di Bindoni for a general vernacular readership. Its woodcut illustrations are small, framed narrative scenes of clerics, townsfolk and shopkeepers in everyday exchanges, with bold outlines and clear figure silhouettes that suggest simple staging for comic storytelling.
