Il trinciante is a 1593 Italian treatise on carving meat, written by Vincenzo Cervio and expanded by the cavalier Fusoritto da Narni, printed in Venice for a cook and carver audience. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces and decorative initials, with grotesque masks, scrolls and foliage, which a designer could draw on for ornamental borders, cartouches and initial letters in period style.
