A 1538 Latin history of the Alpine region of Raetia by Aegidius Tschudi, printed in Basel by Michael Isengrin for learned readers, with woodcut initials, a printer's device, and a diagram of a compass-like cross. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcuts in a dense scholarly typeface, offering a designer models of early printed ornament, decorated capitals, and heraldic cartouches.
