Wotton, Anthony, 1561?-1626, Adams, John, 1735-1826, former owner. BRL, Boston Public Library) John Adams Library BRL · 1624 · Basileæ : [s.n.] · 67 pictures

A 1624 Latin theological treatise printed at Basel by an unnamed printer, written by Anthony Wotton, an English clergyman, on justification and reconciliation in the Church of England, and addressed to Cambridge's royal college. Its four pictures are decorated woodcut initials, with the letters E, I, H and I built from dense interlaced scrolls, leaf tendrils and strapwork on a plain ground. A designer might take from them the tight, fill-the-square logic of early modern initial letters for headers or monograms.
