Le sagre memorie di Ravenna antica ...

Fabri, Girolamo, 1627-1679 · 1664 · In Venetia : Per Francesco Valuasense · 239 pictures

A 1664 Italian ecclesiastical history of Ravenna printed in Venice by Francesco Valuasense, written by Girolamo Fabri and concerned with bishops and church buildings. The pictures are woodcut decorated initial letters, each a large capital framed in acanthus scrolls with a small figure, bearded men or a winged figure, set into the foliage, a useful model for designers wanting historical letterforms with figures inside the capital.
