Commentarii in Isaiam prophetam
This is a Latin commentary on the prophet Isaiah by Jean Calvin, with the French translation work of Nicolas Des Gallars, printed in Geneva in 1570 for a scholarly readership of theologians and Bible students. The pictures are repeated decorative woodcut initial letters E, each framed by scrolling foliage, grotesque masks and a central flower-and-vase motif, offering a designer ready-made border and capital ornament ideas for Renaissance-style printing.
