A 1617 Italian devotional history printed in Bologna by the heirs of Gio. Rossi, recounting the miraculous arrival and growth of the Madonna di San Luca painting on Mount Guardia for a local pilgrimage audience. The pictures are small decorative woodcut initials, framed letters in a dense, ornamental vine-and-scroll style with strapwork and foliage that a designer could adapt for monograms, capitals, or historical border motifs.
