Storia della citta' di Montepulciano di Spinello del cap.no
A 1641 Italian local history of Montepulciano by Spinello Benci, printed in Florence at the Massi and Landi press and held in the John Adams Library at the Boston Public Library. The pictures are typographic ornaments: a symmetrical strapwork frieze with face-like masks, a large foliated initial L, a hanging pendant ornament with birds and tassels, and a scattered arrangement of leafy motifs with small letters, all in dense black line work that suggests historical decorative ornament for printed headpieces, initials and tailpieces.
