La Roccella espvgnata di Francesco Bracciolini ..
A 1630 Italian verse epic, La Roccella espugnata by Francesco Bracciolini, printed in Rome by Mascardi with Desiderio Montemagni credited, for a literate Italian reading public. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces and ornaments in a dense scroll style, with a symmetrical acanthus-like vase or fountain motif and a finer black filigree panel, useful to a designer seeking historical baroque ornament and border motifs.
