Ragionamenti accademici ..
Ragionamenti accademici is a 1567 Italian discussion treatise by Cosimo Bartoli, printed in Venice by F. de Franceschi and concerned with Dante Alighieri, written for an academic readership. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, a decorative capital D and a capital N framing tiny scenes of a man bending over ground with a walled town behind, and a figure with a staff beside a kneeling man, giving a designer ready models for framed, letter-based ornament.
