Auctoritates extracte ex Libris phi[losophorum] ; et p[rim]o ex libro p[rim]o metaphi[si]c[o]r[um] [manuscript]

Aristotle, Burndy Library, donor. DSI · 1 picture

A manuscript extract of Aristotle's authorities from his philosophical works, held by the Smithsonian Libraries and donated through the Burndy Library, a collection of science and medicine. The picture is not a page from the manuscript but the Burndy Library bookplate: a red compass rose with a fleur-de-lis above, framed by red rules, with the name and the date 1941 in black serif capitals. A designer could take from it a restrained two-colour emblem built on a radiating star and a simple framed type block.
