In Rev. admodum D. Marcellum Tolosam Congreg. clericorum regularium theologum, & concionatorem praestantissimum diuersorum scriptorum Veronensium elogia. : Ad illustriss. & Reuerendiss. D. D. Augustinum Valerium S. R.E. Card. Ampliss. & Veronae episcopum.
A 1591 Latin poetry collection printed in Verona by the episcopal printer Hieronymus Discipulus, offering elegiac verse in praise of the Congregation of regular clerics preacher Marcellus Tolosa and addressed to Cardinal Augustinus Valerius, bishop of Verona. The pictures are small woodcut initials, each framed in a square border, with figures such as a dragon, a wolf-like beast, and a hand-held scroll set against landscape backgrounds; a designer could draw on their compact, boxed letterforms and the mix of grotesque creatures and rustic scenery for decorative capitals.
