Sententiae vere aureae... Aegidii Assisinatis, omnibus ad christianam perfectionem aspirantibus utilissimae...
This is a 1534 Latin devotional collection of sayings attributed to Gilles d'Assise, printed by Michael Hillenius Hoochstratanus, aimed at readers seeking Christian perfection. The pictures are not illustrations but decorated historiated initial letters (large ornamental capitals with foliage, a flower and a knotted interlace) opening paragraphs of dense black-letter text, offering a designer ornamental capitals and tight justified columns to borrow.
