A 1665 Latin account of the inauguration of the University of Kiel, printed in Kiel and compiled from speeches by Torquatus, Reinboth, Kielmann and Musaeus for the university's academics and officials. Its engravings show processions of men in long coats, hats and cloaks marching across open ground past small figures and cloud-filled skies, with decorative cartouches carrying Latin captions, giving a designer a dense repertoire of baroque costume, crowd grouping and framed title panels.
