A 1505 Pavia printed book by the jurist Jacobus Gualla, edited by Joannes Franciscus Picius and Paulus Morbius and printed by Jacobus de Burgofranco, aimed at a learned readership of lawyers and clergy. Its woodcut borders show bearded bishops in mitres holding crosiers and blessing, beside large decorated initial letters and dense black-letter columns of Latin text, a dependable source for Renaissance ecclesiastical figures and ornamental capitals.
