Le pompe funebri celebrate da' Signori Accademici Infecondi di Roma per la morte dell'illustrissima Signora Elena Lucrezia Cornara Piscopia accademica, detta l'Inalterabile
This is a 1686 funeral volume printed in Padua by Per il Cadorino for the Accademia degli Infecondi of Rome, commemorating the scholar Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia, a learned woman and academician. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a letter framed in ornate strapwork with tiny scenes of figures, foliage and grotesque ornament inside, useful to designers seeking decorative capitals and early printed borders.
