D. Hippolyti Salodii Arimenen. abbatis Olivetani, Tabulae gnomonicae, nunc denuo castigatae & auctae : vnà cum earum dilucidatione, constructione, ac vsu : quibus iucunda operatione ac mira facilitate, ope solum alicuius normae, in aequas partes diuisae; omnigena sciotherica, horologia in planis, tùm horizontalibus tùm verticalibus : ad omnem poli eleuationem describi possunt : quod & solo canone vel solo circino, multifariè comparari posse demonstratur
A 1626 Latin treatise on gnomonics by the Olivetan abbot Ippolito Salò, printed at Rimini by Giovanni Simbeni, explaining how to construct sundials on flat and vertical planes at any latitude. Its pictures are letter-sized woodcut initials and decorative bands with dense floral scrollwork, showing how early printers framed text with ornament; a designer could borrow the framed capital and the foliate border strip for period-style headers.
