Institutiones iuris canonici quibus ius pontificium singulari methodo libris quatuor comprehenditur
Institutiones iuris canonici is a 1606 Latin treatise on canon law by Giovanni Paolo Lancellotti, with later editors Giovanni Battista Bartolini and Antonio Timoteo, printed in Venice by Petrus Maria Bertanus for scholars and jurists. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each a letter set in a square or round frame filled with scrollwork, foliage, and grotesque masks, which a designer could borrow for decorative capitals, border frames, or vintage monogram layouts.
