De spectris, lemuribus et magnis atque insolitis fragoribus, variisque praesagitionibus, quae plerunque obitum hominum, magnas clades, mutationesque imperiorum praecedunt, liber unus. In tres partes distributus. Omnibus veritatis studiosis summe utilis
A 1687 Latin treatise on ghosts, apparitions and omens, written by Ludwig Lavater and issued in Leiden by Jordaan Luchtmans with plates by Romeyn de Hooghe, aimed at readers seeking truth about spirits. The pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments, initial letters with leafy borders, and a blurred ghostly scene, offering a designer models of decorative initials and foliate frames.
