Johannis BuxtorfI Synagoga Judaica
Johann Buxtorf's Synagoga Judaica is a 1641 Latin treatise on Judaism printed in Basel by Ludwig König, edited with work by his son and David Le Clerc, written for scholars and theologians. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and ornamental headpieces, with dense black scrollwork, leaf and vine forms, and striped shading that a designer could borrow for decorative letterforms and borders.
