Alexandri ab Alexandro, ivrisperiti neapolitani, Genialium dierum libri sex, varia ac recondita eruditione referti; nunc postremùm infinitis mendis quibus antea squallebat liber pulcherrimus, quanta fieri potuit diligentia perpurgati atque in pristinum nitorem restituti
A 1570 Paris edition, printed by Michel Sonnius, of Alessandro Alessandri's Genialium dierum libri sex, a Neapolitan jurist's miscellany of notes on classical antiquity for scholarly readers. Its decoration is typographic: woodcut initials filled with curling acanthus, tulip-like blooms, rosettes and small human faces, plus grotesque headpiece friezes of scrollwork and figures useful as drop caps and rules.
