Alphabetum Arabicum unà cum oratione Dominicali, salutatione angelica, et simbolo apostolico
A Latin-titled Arabic alphabet primer printed in Rome in 1715 by the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, a Vatican missionary body, to teach script and prayers. Its one picture is a woodcut ornament: a cherub's head framed by fruit-filled cornucopias, acanthus scrolls and ribbon swags, the kind of printer's headpiece a designer could borrow for a classical frame or border.
