This 1517 Lyon edition of Ramon Llull's Ars magna, a medieval philosophy and theology treatise, was printed by Jacobus Marechal for Simon Vincent and edited by Bernardus de Lavinheta for scholars. Its pictures are small woodcut initials with dense foliage and acanthus-like leaves set in dark grounds, showing how a letter can be framed with ornament that a designer could adapt for display type or borders.
