A Latin verse tribute printed in Verona in 1595 by Hieronymus Discipulus, written by Jacobus Baptistella in honour of the Veronese governor Giovanni Corner and dedicated to Scipio Pescettius. The title page is set in cut capitals with a central engraved coat of arms framed by ornament, and the first picture shows a large decorative woodcut initial M with a lion-like beast, foliage and a small animal at its base, which a designer could adapt for display lettering with figurative letterforms.
