Historiarum libri sex. Seu de rebus gestis a Joanne et Manuele Comnenis Impp. CP
A Latin history in six books by the twelfth-century Byzantine chronicler Joannes Cinnamus, printed in Paris in 1670 by the royal press for the study of the Comnenian emperors John II and Manuel I. Its pictures are engraved decorative headpieces and cartouches built from armour, crowns, fruit swags, scrolls, and heraldic beasts, with a classical baroque framing vocabulary a designer could borrow for ornamental borders and crests.
