Sancti Ephraem Syri, patris et scriptoris ecclesiae antiquissimi et dignissimi, opera omnia quotquot in insignioribus Italiae bibliothecis, praecipue Romanis Graece inveniri potuerunt in tres tomos digesta
A 1616 Latin edition of the works of Ephraem the Syrian, collected by Gerardus Joannes Vossius and printed by Arnold Quentel, a Cologne printer, for scholars and churchmen. The pictures are repeated printer's ornaments: a triangular pendant of interlaced scrollwork, hatched shading, and curling tendrils cut as woodblock lines on a pale ground, useful to a designer seeking early modern decorative motifs.
