La gierusalemme liberata di Torquato Tasso
Torquato Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme liberata, printed in Genoa in 1590 by Girolamo Bartoli, a Renaissance Italian edition for literate readers. The framed engravings show crusader knights in armour, walled cities and classical ruins set among trees, rendered in fine dense line with ornamental borders a designer could adapt for period lettering or decorative frames.
