A 1592 Latin edition printed at Frankfurt am Main by Sigismund Feyerabend, gathering Hans Staden's account of Brazil with Jean de Léry's voyage narrative and a description of the Tupi peoples, for scholars and readers of travel and natural history. The pictures are horizontal decorative strapwork bands of dense scrolls, acanthus leaves, grotesque masks and putti, typical of sixteenth-century German book borders, and a designer could draw on their symmetrical interlace for framing or headers.
