Crabbe, Pierre, 1470-1553, Gratius, Ortuinus, d. 1542, Catholic Church · 1538 · Coloniae : Petrus Quentel excudebat · 107 pictures

A 1538 Latin collection of Catholic Church councils and synods, edited by Pierre Crabbe and Ortuinus Gratius and printed in Cologne by Petrus Quentel for church scholars and clergy. The four pictures are repeated woodcut initial D letters, each framing a small naked putto or child cradling a small animal, likely a dog or lamb, within a decorative rectangular border. A designer could take the ornamental frame and the simple woodcut hatching for historical lettering or decorative initials.
