Commentarius breuis rerum in orbe gestarum, ab anno salutis millesimo quingentesimo, vsq[ue] ad annum LXVI.
A 1566 Latin history of world events from 1500 onward, compiled by Laurentius Surius and printed at Cologne by the Quentel heirs and Gervinus Calenius for scholarly readers. The woodcut initial A shows a robed figure at left and a winged angel at upper right, set in a dense field of diagonal hatching that a designer could borrow for pattern or framing.
