In Omnes C. Plinii Secvndi Natvralis Historiæ Argvtissimi Scriptoris libros, Stephani Aquæi Bituricensis, viri Equestris, Commentaria
A 1530 Paris commentary by Étienne de Laigue on the natural history of Pliny the Elder, printed by Galliot du Pré for a scholarly readership of humanists and physicians. Its pictures are large decorated initial letters set at the start of text blocks, each with a figure or scene curling inside the capital, offering a designer a model for historiated letterforms and the way a woodcut initial anchors a dense page of type.
