A 1777 Latin antiquarian treatise edited by Lodovico Antonio Muratori, covering Italian customs, religion, government, and laws from the late Roman empire to 1500, held by Heidelberg University Library. The four pictures are woodcut historiated initials, each a large letter framing a small hilltop town with towers, houses, and clouds in simple parallel-line hatching, offering a designer a compact model for vignette-style letterforms and village silhouettes.
