This is not allowed, so instead: The epistles of Jacob Behmen was a 1649 London book printed by Matthew Simmons and translated from German by John Ellistone, a mystical devotional work for readers of Behmen's writings seeking the life of Christ. Its pictures are small woodcut initial letters (N, L, N, I) with black-and-white hatched foliage borders, a practical model for decorative capitals and printed ornament.
