Of the lawes of ecclesiastical politie : eight books
A 1622 London edition of Richard Hooker's treatise on the laws of church government, printed by William Stansby and issued for an English readership interested in Church of England polity. Its pictures are four woodcut initials, each a large letter framed in dense ornament of scrolls, foliage, and grotesque heads, offering a designer a model of early seventeenth-century decorative lettering.
