Historia della città e regno di Napoli
A 1675 Neapolitan history of the city and kingdom of Naples, printed in Naples by Antonio Bulifon and compiled from earlier writings by Summonte, Loffredo and Aldimari for a general reading public. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a decorative initial D framed by interlacing foliage, a bearded face flanked by leafy scrolls, a mask set among flowers and scrollwork, and a historiated initial P, offering a designer ready-made borders, capitals and face-in-foliage motifs for Baroque-style page decoration.
