Commentarivs de Iobeleo et indvlgentiis omnibvs ... olim anno Iobeleo 1550 Conymbricae editus
A Latin treatise on jubilee years and indulgences by Martín de Azpilcueta, printed at Lyon in 1575 by G. Rouillé for a scholarly and clerical readership. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and printer's ornaments, including a large ornate capital built from scrolls and foliage, a letter M and a letter A set in square frames with leafy borders, and a tiny square ornament. A designer could draw on these as models for ornamental capitals, framed letterforms and compact vignette borders.
