D. Gregorii Nazianzeni Orationes XXX
A 1531 Greek-Latin edition of thirty orations by Gregory of Nazianzus, edited by Willibald Pirckheimer and Erasmus and printed at Basel in the Frobenius workshop for scholars and readers of classical theology. Its pictures are small woodcut initials, each a large letter filled with bearded figures, animals and foliage in dense hatched lines, offering a designer a compact model for historiated capitals and decorative drop letters.
