Il codice Orsini-da Costa delle Rime e dei Trionfi
A 1904 Roman facsimile published by Danesi Editore, reproducing an Italian illuminated manuscript of Petrarch's Rime and Trionfi, edited by Domenico Ciampoli with commentary by Ferreira da Costa for scholars and collectors of manuscript art. The pictures are colour plates in violet, blue and gold, mixing framed panels of ornamental borders, grotesque bird and scroll motifs, and small narrative scenes, offering a designer ready models for medieval-revival page framing, gilt ornament and a restrained purple palette.
