A 1528 Latin treatise on Roman coinage and money by the humanist Guillaume Budé, printed at Cologne by Johannes Soter for scholars and readers of learned humanist texts. The four pictures are woodcut historiated initials A, N, P and L, each letter filled with putti climbing, embracing and clinging among scrolling foliage, a model for decorative capitals and letter-built figure work.
