Historia trivigiana
A 1591 Italian history of Treviso by Giovanni Bonifacio, printed in Treviso by Domenico Amici and owned by John Adams, written for scholars and readers of regional history. Its pictures are woodcut decorative type ornaments: historiated initials with foliage and small figures, and a repeating border strip of birds, a dog and leafy scrolls, which suggest ornamental framing, grotesque foliage and animal motifs a designer could adapt for borders and capitals.
