De constitvtionibvs apostolicis, B. Clemente Romano auctore, libri octo : nunc primùm è tenebris eruti, & ad orthodoxam fidem astruendam apprimè utiles
A 1563 Latin edition of the Apostolic Constitutions attributed to Clement I, printed in Venice by the Zileti workshop and aimed at church scholars and canon lawyers. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a large letter A framed by a scene: a figure at left, a seated or kneeling man at right, and a landscape behind, with bold outlines and hatched shading a designer could borrow for decorative capitals.
