Tomus alter.

3 pictures

The record gives only a volume label and a library name, so the pictures carry the description. A woodcut tailpiece shows a caduceus-like staff with serpents, arrows, and a tuft of foliage on a bulbous base, a decorated initial M is framed in scrolling vine tendrils, and a bookplate-style armorial shows a winged figure above a shield with a star, cross, and grape cluster, with a Latin motto. A designer might draw on the scrolling foliage, the heraldic symmetry, and the emblematic woodcut motifs for ornament or monogram work.
