Jani de Bisschop Chorus musarum : id est, elogia, poemata, epigrammata, echo, aenigmata, ludus poeticus, ars hermetica, &c
A Latin poetry collection by Jan de Bisschop, a Dutch author (1628-1671), printed in Leiden in 1700 by the Elzevier-associated firm of Johannes du Vivie and Isaac Severinus for a learned readership. The pictures are a monogram block with the letters J and E set in white script-like flourishes on black, and a dense black-on-cream ornamental panel of scrolls, leaves and interlace, suggesting how strong ornament, monograms and framed capital letters can anchor a classical title page or bookplate design.
