M. Tullius Cicero Mannucciorum commentariis illustratus antiquaeq. lectioni restitutus
A 1583 Venetian edition of Cicero's works, printed by the Aldine press with commentary by the Mannucci, aimed at scholars and students of classical Latin. The picture is a decorative headpiece: a symmetrical band of interlaced scrolls, foliage and a central oval medallion framing a figure, above the large initial letters 'IN'. A designer might borrow its strapwork cartouche, scrollwork rhythm and compact ornamental band for a title panel or border.
