Vavassore, Giovanni Andrea, called Vadagnino, fl. 1520-1560.
Opera nova contemplativa (2lock-book) Opera noua con- templatiua ... ca. 15302, (Card 3)
Title (;Antet®) and colophon (;Hyy%e"®°) within identical borders of white arabesques on a black ground; the New Testament illustrations, including cut of Madonna at end, have side borders (of trefoils, except euts on ;Dyry"eet? and Gyyteet?)
Gothie type, except ;Ey;"t° and (Hy)'t°, which are printed in round characters.
Four issues are described in Schreiber’s Manuel de l’amateur de la gravure ... au xv® siécle, v. 4 (1902) p. 105-118. This copy resembles issue e in having ;Ey; and (Hy) printed in round characters, but differs in that the Madonna cut at end is not surrounded by a border, but has side borders only, apparently corresponding in this respect to Schreiber’s issue d.
