Volgarizzamento del libro de' costumi e degli offizii de' nobili sopra il giuoco degli scacchi di frate Jacopo da Cessole, tratto nuovamente da un codice Magliabechiano
An Italian edition of Jacobus de Cessolis's medieval moral treatise on chess, edited by Pietro Marocco and printed in Milan in 1829 from a Magliabechian manuscript. The four woodcut-style pictures show scenes with a man in medieval dress set among walls, trees and tables, drawn in bold black line with decorative borders, offering a designer clear models of early woodcut narrative framing.
