Buccolica cum commento familiari

Virgile (0070-0019 av. J.-C.) · Bocard, André (14..-15..) (Paris) · 1 picture

This is an incunable, a printed book from the early period of European printing, issued in Paris by the printer André Bocard in the late fifteenth century, containing Virgil's Bucolics with a familiar commentary. The page shows a title panel with a rectangular framed block of printed text and a dense woodcut border of interlaced foliage, a fleur-de-lis, and small grotesque figures set in a rich, symmetrical ornamental field a designer could adapt for decorative frames.
