Ragionamenti di Lorenzo Capelloni sopra varij essempi ciuili, & militari. Aggiunteui le Memorie del signore d'Argentone
An Italian civic and military essay collection by Lorenzo Capelloni, printed in Milan in 1610 by G. Bordoni, with its historical examples aimed at a general readership of gentlemen and officers. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials, a large G, A and N framed by scrolling foliage and grotesque ornament, plus a square-framed O filled with stylized leaf tendrils. A designer might take from them the bold letterforms set in leafy black-line borders, a strong template for display capitals and ornamental frames.
