Petri de Ponte ceci Burgensis Ad reverendissimum in Christo patrem Anthonium Bergeum beati Bertini venerabilis coenobitus moderatorem prudentissimum.
A Latin verse dedication printed in Paris in 1510 by the bookseller Denis Roce, addressed to the abbot Antoine Berge of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Bertin. The picture is the title page: a large woodcut device of a central cartouche framed by Gothic lettering and foliage, with a short block of text beneath it. A designer might take from it the dense, symmetrical layout of an early printed title page, with its mix of black-letter type and a boxed emblem.
