De coena domini adversvs Iodici Harchii Montensis dogmata

Bèze, Théodore de, 1519-1605 · 1580 · Genevae, E. Vignon · 2 pictures

A theological treatise by Théodore de Bèze, printed in Geneva in 1580 by E. Vignon, arguing against Jodocus Harchius on the Lord's Supper. The pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: a large decorated initial C wrapped in foliage and a scrollwork frame, and a small emblem of an anchor with a serpent-entwined staff held by two cherubs. A designer could draw on the dense interlace of the initial and the compact, symbolic emblem of the anchor.
