Lo specchio di vera penitenzia di Fr. Iacopo Passauanti Fiorentino dell'Ordine de' predicatori : a miglior lezione ridotto, e dedicato al sereniss. principe di Toscana
This 1681 Italian devotional treatise on repentance by Jacopo Passavanti, edited by Alessandro Segni, was printed in Florence by Pel Vangelisti and dedicated to the Prince of Tuscany. The pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: vase-like urn borders with flower heads and scrolls, and a decorated initial D with foliage, set beside printed Italian text. A designer might take from them compact, historical border and initial-letter models for pairing with serif type.
