Retorica ... amplissimamente tradotta, & illustrata con dotte & vtilissime digressioni
A 1597 Venetian edition of Aristotle's Rhetoric, translated and annotated by Alessandro Piccolomini and printed by G. Angelieri, a scholarly text for humanist readers. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials set in square frames, built from interlaced foliage, scrolls and curling stems, useful to a designer seeking historical letterforms and ornamental borders for display lettering.
