Fenestella, L. (Lucius), -1452 · 1523 · [Basileae] : [Apud V. Curionem] · 3 pictures

A 1523 Latin treatise printed in Basel by Valentin Curio, compiling Fenestella's and Pomponius Laetus's accounts of Roman magistrates, priests and laws for scholars and students of antiquity. Its pages show decorated woodcut initial letters, one with a foliate and grotesque ground and one with a bearded face framed by knotwork, set among dense black-letter text, plus a small engraved library ownership roundel with a heraldic shield and crest, offering designers strong models for ornamental capitals, interlace borders and seal-like emblems.
