Sforza Oddi's comedy I morti vivi, printed in Perugia in 1576 by Baldo Saluiani for the publisher Luciano Pasini, was written for the Accademia degli Insensati and reads as an Italian literary text for educated readers. Its pictures are small woodcut initials set into square frames, some with figures and some with foliage or scrollwork, that a designer could borrow for decorative capitals and printed-page ornament.
