Hortorum secreta, cultus, et auxilia, amœnæ voluptatis, & inenarabilis utilitatis abunde plena: rerúmque variarum accessione nunc primùm aucta & illustrata. Autore Antonio Mizaldo Monluciensi, medico.
Mizauld's Hortorum secreta, a Latin gardening and horticultural treatise by the physician Antoine Mizauld, printed in Paris by Frédéric Morel in 1575 for scholars and gardeners. The pictures are woodcut decorative initial letters, the large capitals P, N and I framed by acanthus scrolls, leaves, flowers and grotesque figures, useful to a designer for historical ornamental lettering and framing.
