Cato censorius christianus
A 1591 Latin school text, Cato censorius christianus, edited by Theodore de Beze and printed by Ioannem Tornaesium, presumably for students reading moral maxims. The first picture is a title page framed by a dense foliate border with a small circular emblem with a motto, and the second is a symmetrical scrolled ornament with fleur-de-lis-like terminals and small rosettes, useful for designers studying Renaissance strapwork and border patterns.
