Divi Caecilii Cypriani episcopi Carthaginensis et martyris opera iam quartum accuratiori vigilantia a mendis repurgata, per Desiderium Erasmum Roterodamum : accessit liber eiusdem apprime pius ad Fortunatum de duplici martyrio, antehac nunquam excusus
A 1540 Latin edition of the works of Cyprian, bishop of Carthage and martyr, edited by Erasmus and printed by the Hervagen press in Basel for scholars and churchmen. The four pictures are historiated and decorated initials, some with small figure scenes inside the letter, set in dense black-letter-style roman text, offering a designer models of early printed capitals with figurative and foliate ornament.
