Petri Gyllii De topographia Constantinopoleos, et de illivs antiqvitatibvs libri qvatvor
A Latin topography of Constantinople in four books by Pierre Gilles, printed in Lyon in 1562 by Guillaume Rouillé for scholars and antiquarians. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a repeated emblem of an eagle on a globe and column flanked by serpents and putti, and a decorative initial V with foliage scrolls, useful for designers seeking Renaissance strapwork, cartouche framing and classical ornament.
