Catalogus codicum manuscriptorum Bibliothecae Gothanae
A 1714 Leipzig catalogue of manuscripts held by the ducal library at Gotha, compiled by librarians Ernst Salomon Cyprian and Christian Schlegel with a letter on the Willigisian codex, published by Johann Friedrich Gleditsch for scholars and librarians. The pictures are letterpress printer's ornaments: a symmetrical fan-shaped leafy cartouche with radiating burst, and a large decorative initial letter I framed by acanthus-like foliage, both in black ink on cream paper, useful for classical border and capital-letter motifs.
