Ragionamento del terremoto, del Nvovo monte, del aprimento di terra in Pozvolo nel anno 1538 : e dela significatione d'essi
A 1539 Italian pamphlet printed in Naples by Giovanni Sulzbach, a German printer, recounting the 1538 earthquake and the new mountain that rose near Pozzuoli, written for a general readership. Three of the four pictures are decorative woodcut initials built from foliage and interlace inside square frames, and the fourth is a woodcut view of a smoking mountain above a coastline with labelled towns, offering a designer ready models of ornamental letterforms and early volcano scenery.
