I Sacri Salmi di David : messi in rime volgari italiane
A 1664 Italian verse translation of the Psalms of David by Giovanni Diodati, printed in Haarlem by Jacob Albertz for Protestant readers of Bible hymns. The four pictures are decorative printer's ornaments: a flourished urn cartouche, a large foliate initial, a harpist framed in scrolls, and a line of musical notation with text. A designer could take ornate baroque frames, initials and engraved urn motifs from these woodcut-style devices.
