I sette salmi penitentiali del santissimo profeta Dauit : tradotti in lingua toscana, da madonna Lavra Battiferra degl'Ammannati ; con gli argomenti sopra ciascuno di essi, composti dalla medesima ; insiemi con alcuni suoi sonetti spirituali

Battiferri degli Ammannati, Laura, 1523-1589, translator, Heredi di Philippo de Giunta, printer · 1566 · In Fiorenza : Appresso i Giunti · 19 pictures

A 1566 Florentine printing by the Giunti heirs of Laura Battiferra's Italian translation of the seven penitential psalms of David, with her own argument summaries and spiritual sonnets. The pictures are small woodcut initial letters, a repeated N with a kneeling penitent set in a clouded field and a P with a robed, bearded figure, framed in plain rectangular borders. A designer might take from them the way a figure can be tucked inside a capital letter, with the letterform carrying most of the structure.
