A 1598 Latin treatise on Roman chariot racing and circus games by Julius Caesar Bulengerus, published in Paris with a text attributed to John Chrysostom, aimed at scholars and classical readers. The single picture is a small ornamental woodcut of a bearded, crowned sea figure flanked by two scrolling fish-tailed sea creatures amid curling leaf and scroll forms, a decorative device a designer could borrow for emblem-style borders, heraldic frames, or nautical motifs.
