Decada quarta da Asia : dos feitos que os portugueses fizeram na conquista e descobrimento das terras, & mares do Oriente : em quanto gouernaraõ a India Lopo Vaz de Saõ Payo, & parte de Nuno da Cunha
Decada quarta da Asia is a Portuguese history of Portuguese conquests and voyages in the East Indies, written by Diogo do Couto with João de Barros and printed in Lisbon by Pedro Crasbeeck in 1602 for a Portuguese reading public. Its pictures are four near-identical decorative woodcut initial P letters, each a tall letter framed by curling foliage, flowers and scrolls, offering a designer a template for historical ornamental capitals.
