Origenis opera omnia et quae eius nomine circumferuntur
A Latin edition of the collected works of the third-century Greek theologian Origen, edited by Charles de La Rue and published in 1743, with decorative engraved headpieces and ornaments set into its text pages. The pictures are dense rococo scrollwork ornaments in black line, with C-scrolls, acanthus leaves and flowers, and one central panel of armour, sword, shield and laurel that a designer could borrow for a cartouche or frame.
