Filarmindo is a pastoral fable printed in Bologna in 1605 by the heirs of Gio. Rossi, written by Ridolfo Campeggi with Francesco Valesio. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials, each a large capital letter filled with figures and surrounded by scrolling foliage, flourishes and grotesque ornament, useful to a designer for historical letterforms, frame borders and ornamental capitals with figurative content.
