Pittvre del Doni is a 1564 Italian emblem-style book printed in Padua by Gratioso Perchacino, written by Anton Francesco Doni, a Florentine writer, and covering virtues such as love, fortune, chastity and death. The pictures are small woodcut initials, each a decorated letter enclosing a figure, showing how allegorical scenes can be packed into a tight rectangular frame.
