In Canticvm Canticorvm Solomonis homiliae Th. Bezae. Im quibus praecipuae de vero Christo & vera ecclesia controuersiae nostris temporibus agitatae ex Dei. verbo exponuntur. Ex gallicis à N. latinae factae

Bèze, Théodore de, 1519-1605 · 1587 · [Geneva] Johannes le Preux · 16 pictures

A 1587 Latin Bible commentary on the Song of Songs by Theodore de Beze, printed in Geneva by Johannes le Preux for a scholarly, religious readership. The pictures are four near-identical black printed ornaments, each a diamond-shaped fleuron of scrolled acanthus-like leaves and curled tendrils around a central rosette, showing how a single printer's ornament was reused as a tailpiece or headpiece to mark section breaks, useful for designers seeking compact symmetrical border or divider motifs.
