A 1562 Catalan chronicle by Ramón Muntaner, printed in Barcelona by Jaume Cortey, recounting the deeds of King James I of Aragon, Majorca and Valencia. The pictures are four repeated woodcut initial letters E, each a large serif capital framed in dense acanthus scrolls, leaves and small grotesque animal heads. A designer could take from them a model for a decorated drop capital with sturdy foliage that fills a square frame.
