Lettere devotissime della beata vergine santa Caterina da Siena : nuovamente con tutta la diligentia che si ha potuto ristampate
A 1562 Venetian printing of the letters of Saint Catherine of Siena, issued from the Santa Maria Formosa press for devotional readers. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials, each a large letter C, with some enclosing scenes of figures in a crowded interior and others set in rough hatched foliage; a designer could draw on their compact framing and cut-block letterforms for historical display lettering.
