Hugo Grotius De veritate religionis Christianae

Grotius, Hugo, 1583-1645 · 1709 · Amstelaedami : Apud Franciscum vander Plaats · 8 pictures

A 1709 Latin apologetics treatise by the Dutch jurist Hugo Grotius, published in Amsterdam by Franciscus vander Plaats, aimed at scholars and readers defending Christianity against other religions. The four pictures are small letterpress printer's ornaments: a flower-and-leaf spray, a symmetrical scrolled cartouche printed twice, and a bouquet of blossoms over acanthus, offering designers period-accurate headpieces and tailpieces with dense, hand-cut linework.
