Il Paride : opera musicale ...
An Italian opera libretto printed in Dresden in 1662 by Melchior Bergen, written by the composer Giovanni Andrea Angelini Bontempi, and likely intended for courtly or musical audiences. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials and ornamental headpieces, with dense scrollwork, strapwork, and interlaced foliage that a designer could adapt for letterforms, borders, or heraldic-style panels.
