Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori già bibliotecario del Serenissimo Signore Duca di Modena
Opere del proposto Lodovico Antonio Muratori is a 1773 Italian collected edition of the writings of the priest and librarian Lodovico Antonio Muratori, held at Heidelberg University Library, with its Cicognara subject grouping placing it under antiquities in general. The pictures are letterpress printed ornaments: a central cartouche with trophies and a shell, a row of putti on scrolling consoles, a basket of fruit between acanthus scrolls, and a rosette with a seated figure among leafy tendrils. A designer could draw on their symmetrical rococo scrollwork, mirrored framing and cartouches for decorative borders and title pages.
