1573
What Italian printers, who could copy great pieces of printing, did when left more to themselves, is shown in a Florence Decamerone of 1573, brought out by the Giunti.… the title-pages is set in capitals of three sizes, capitals and small capitals of three sizes, lower-case roman of two sizes, and to this are added two sizes of italic, and a woodcut of Boccaccio!
