1514 · [Complutum, that is Alcalà de Henares] : [Arnaldo Guillelmo de Brocario] · 2 pictures

A 1514 imprint printed at Complutum (Alcalá de Henares) by Arnaldo Guillelmo de Brocario, held by the John Carter Brown Library, with a Latin title page built around a coat of arms and a vocabulary of Hebrew, Aramaic and Chaldean terms. The first picture is a bordered title page with a central heraldic shield above the printed Latin text and a signed ownership inscription below. The second is a woodcut-framed page with a scene of a figure at an altar beneath a hanging lamp, flanked by two standing figures on pedestals, above a triangular block of Latin text, and a designer might borrow its symmetrical border architecture and its heraldic and emblematic motifs.
