Historia della vita, miracoli, traslatione, e gloria dell'illustrissimo confessor di Christo San Nicolo il Magno, arciuescouo di Mira, patrono e protettore della città di Bari
A 1642 Italian devotional history of Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, patron of Bari, written by Antonio Beatillo and printed in Naples and reprinted in Palermo for a Catholic readership. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a decorated initial letter with interlaced foliage repeated across the pages, and a horizontal band of a grotesque mask flanked by cornucopias. A designer could draw on their dense black linework and symmetrical border structure for headers and frames.
