Antonii Mizaldi [...] Memorabilium, sive Arcanorum omnis generis, per aphorismos digestorum, Centuriae IX, et Democritus Abderita de Rebus Naturalibus et Mysticis, Cum Synesii et Pelagii Commentariis

Mizauld Antoine, Démocrite, Synésius, Pizimentius, Dominicus (éd.) · 1572 · Coloniae : apud Ioannem Birckmannum · 4 pictures

A Latin miscellany of natural and mystical lore compiled by Antoine Mizauld and printed in Cologne by Johann Birckmann in 1572, drawing on Democritus, Synesius and Pelagius for a learned readership. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces of symmetrical acanthus scrolls, flowers and fruit framing a dropped capital, and a designer might borrow their paired foliate panels, interlaced tendrils and historiated initials as ornament for borders and display lettering.
