Rime di m. Francesco Coppetta de' Beccvti, pervgino
A sixteenth-century Italian poetry collection by Francesco Coppetta de' Beccuti, published in Venice in 1580 by the Guerra brothers for a literate readership of poetry collectors. Its pictures are small woodcut devices: an oval emblem of a phoenix rising from flames under a sun and skull, a historiated initial S and a decorated initial A set beside printed Italian verse, and a phoenix with the motto Novatur Iuventus on a banner, all useful for designers seeking Renaissance emblematic ornament and classical lettering.
