Istoria de' suoi tempi di Giovambatista Adriani : gentilhumo fiorentino. Diuisa in libri ventidue. Di nuovo mandata in luce. Con li sommarii, e tavola, e le postille in margine delle cose più notabili, che in esse istorie si contengono
Istoria de' suoi tempi by Giovambatista Adriani, a Florentine history in twenty-two books, edited by Marcello Adriani and printed in Venice by Bernardo Giunti in 1587 for scholarly readers of Italian history. The pictures are four woodcut historiated initials, each a large letter framed in dense acanthus scrolls and foliage, with the letters E, I, L and L rendered in heavy black outline and cross-hatching that a designer could adapt for display lettering or ornamental capitals.
