L'opere di M. Givlio Camillo ..
Giulio Camillo's collected works, printed in Venice in 1584 by Alessandro Griffio for a scholarly readership interested in Italian letters, astrology and occult learning. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments, mostly grotesque masks with scrolling foliage and volutes, plus historiated initials with human faces, set into the text blocks; a designer could take from them a compact vocabulary of Renaissance decorative borders and capital letters.
