Francisci Burmanni ... Synopsis theologiæ & speciatim oeconomiæ foederum Dei : ab initio sæculorum usque ad consummationem eorum ..
A Latin theology synopsis by Frans Burman, printed at Utrecht in 1671 for scholarly readers, and owned by John Adams. The four pictures are chapter-opening woodcut initials, each a large letter with a roman I marker beside it, set in dense leafy scrollwork. A designer could take from them the decorative capital letter with acanthus-style foliage, which suits display type, borders and historical ornament.
