Persio
Persio is a 1630 Roman edition of the Latin verse satires of Persius, edited and translated into Italian by Francesco Stelluti, with engraving by Mathieu Greuter and printing by Giacomo Mascardi for a scholarly readership. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and a head-piece of foliage, scrolls, and grotesque masks, showing how carved letter frames with interlaced leaves and volutes can structure a page.
