1514 · [Complutum, that is Alcalà de Henares] : [Arnaldo Guillelmo de Brocario] · 1 picture

A 1514 printed book issued at Complutum (Alcalá de Henares) by Arnaldo Guillelmo de Brocario, carrying a Latin title page with a decorative woodcut border and a printer's device at the foot. The page is set in dense black-letter type with a large capitalised opening line, written for scholars and churchmen of the period. Designers can take from it the framing of a text block by a dense ornamental border, with the printer's mark centred below as a small emblem.
