Le dieci mascherate delle bvfole mandate in Firenze il giorno di carnouale l'anno 1565. : con la descrizzione di tutta la pompa delle maschere, e loro inuenzioni
A 1566 Florentine account by Domenico Mellini of ten carnival masquerades staged in Florence in 1565, printed by the Giunti press for a general readership interested in festival pageantry. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, the E, D, Q and S framed in square borders, with knotted foliage, scrolls and grotesque animal forms that a designer could adapt for display capitals or border ornament.
