Il cancellieri del Doni is a 1562 Italian moral treatise on conduct of life and maxims, written by Anton Francesco Doni and printed in Venice by Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari for a general readership. Its decorated initials are woodcut letters enclosing mythological and allegorical scenes, with figures in landscape, a chariot on clouds, and tangled combat, giving designers a dense model for framed narrative letterforms.
