Americae das fünffte Buch is a 1595 German-language account of the Americas, compiled from Girolamo Benzoni's travels and printed in Frankfurt am Main for a Protestant readership interested in New World voyages. The pictures are engraved decorative headpieces and title ornaments with dense scrolling foliage, cartouches, masks and figures, useful to a designer for historical border and frontispiece patterns.
