La pazzesca pazzia de gl'hvomini e donne di corte innamorati, overo, Il cortigiano disperato
A 1608 Italian book printed in Venice by Evangelista Deuchino and Giovanni Battista Pulciani, written by Gabriele Pascoli, aimed at courtiers and readers of satire on courtly love. The pictures here are decorative woodcut initial letters, mostly an ornate N, an I, and a G, with dense foliage, scrolls, and knotted interlace that a designer could borrow for drop caps, monograms, or period-styled headers.
