A 1700 Latin scholarly work by the Saxon jurist Caspar Thurmann, published in Halle Magdeburg, compiling laws and privileges of universities and learned men for an academic readership. The first picture is a large decorated initial M beside dense black-letter text, showing how a historic printed page balances ornament and type; the second is a small engraved bookplate with a heraldic shield, supporting griffins, crowns and a gothic script caption, a model for crest-and-label design.
