Determinatio Theologice̦ Facultatis Parisieñ
A 1521 theological determination from the Faculty of Theology of the University of Paris, printed by Jodocus Badius Ascensius in Paris for scholars and clergy and concerned with Martin Luther. The picture shows a large decorated initial P in black ink on a pale page, with its interlaced vine scrolls and small leaf ornaments filling the letter, beside a column of black-letter Latin text. A designer could take from it the dense interlace of a printed capital, with ornament set tightly into the letterform and text running in a narrow justified column.
