Josephi Alexandri Furietti ... De Musivis Ad SS. Patrem Benedictum XIV. Pontificem Maximum
A 1752 Latin treatise on ancient mosaics by Giuseppe Alessandro Furietti, dedicated to Pope Benedict XIV and printed in Rome for a scholarly and ecclesiastical readership. Its pictures are small engraved decorative initials and ornamental panels, with scrolled foliage, grotesque masks, cherubs and cartouches set inside plain rules, which a designer could draw on for monogram letterforms and border ornament.
