Contra libellum Calvini in quo ostendere conatur haereticos jure gladij coercendos esse ..

Castellion, Sébastien, 1515-1563, Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564. Defensio orthodoxae fidei · 1612 · [Amsterdam] : [s.n.] · 3 pictures

A 1612 Latin polemical tract printed in Amsterdam, written by Sébastien Castellion against Calvin's views on punishing heretics, and held by Princeton University Library. The three pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments and a library ownership stamp: a scrolled foliate head-piece, a heraldic cartouche with a fleur-like crest, and an oval inscription reading Ex Bibliotheca Universitatis Heidelbergensis. A designer could draw on the bold acanthus scrolls and the heavy blackletter-style lettering of the stamp for historical ornament work.

Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564
