Cato moralissimus cum elegantissimo commento [fratris Roberti de Euromodo]

1506 · Antwerp : G. Bac · 2 pictures

A 1506 printed edition of the Cato moralissimus, a schoolbook of moral maxims with a commentary by Fra Roberto de Euromodo, printed at Antwerp by G. Bac and held by the Wellcome Library. The first picture is a woodcut title page showing a bearded teacher at a lectern addressing a seated class beneath a barred window, and the second is a dense black-letter text page with a red-and-black heading and a large initial, suggesting strong contrast between a small framed image and tightly set type.
