Ivsti LipsI De crvce libri tres : ad sacram profanámque historiam utiles : vnà cum notis
A 1594 Latin treatise on the cross by Justus Lipsius, printed in Antwerp at the Plantin press and illustrated by Petrus van der Borcht for scholars and readers of sacred and classical history. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces and tailpieces, with the first three showing a symmetrical ornament of scrolls, garlands, and a central figure above a shield, and the fourth a dense black filigree of curling foliage that suggests ornament for page openings and title panels.
