A 1557 Latin commentary on Solinus, Florus and the Tabula Cebetis, printed in Basel by Henricus Petri for scholars and churchmen who administered church and civic affairs. The two pictures are armorial devices: a heraldic shield with a chevron, three small animals and a motto banner, and a woodcut griffin-like beast with claws set among scrolling acanthus, which a designer could draw on for heraldic crests, border ornament and early printers' marks.
