[Sca-cooks] Weird query about an image

[Johnna Holloway]

Found it.

It's in the introduction on the Octavo cd of the Library of Congress's  
Martino. Page 2

"It may have come from an
examination of the deluxe presentation manuscript of the same
title that was made from Martino’s rough notes and dedicated to
his employer at the time, Cardinal Ludovico Trevisan, Patriarch
of Aquileia. This copy opens with thirteen lines of Sanvito’s ex-
quisite capital letters followed by four lines of his cursive minus-
cule. Two different scribes wrote the main text of the manuscript.
An unidentified scribe wrote the first part, while Antonio Tophio
wrote the last part. Unfortunately, this manuscript has been un-
available for study since it was sold into private hands, so it is not
possible to verify this supposition.4 "

The facing page has the illumination.
