Enarratio in legem unicam de professoribus qui in urbe Constantinopolitana libro XII C. Quae fuit ab eodem veste purpurea ornato die quarta Januarii M D LVIII

Novarinis, Jacobus de, active 1558 · 1558 · Lyons : M. Bonhomme · 5 pictures

A Latin legal commentary by Jacobus de Novarinis, printed in Lyons by M. Bonhomme in 1558, on professors in Constantinople under the Code. The pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a symmetrical vertical cartouche, a horizontal foliate border strip, a decorated initial S with scrolling acanthus, and a heraldic shield with a fleur-de-lis under a flourished crest. A designer could take from them the Renaissance scroll-and-acanthus vocabulary and the mirrored symmetry of early printed borders.
