Liber scintillarum : opus
Liber scintillarum is a Latin collection of quotations from Christian writings, attributed to Bede and compiled by Antoninus Siculus Gangutia, printed in Rome in 1560 by Antonio Blado for scholars and clerics. Its pictures are small woodcut decorated initials, each a large letter D framed by hatched borders, with a seated figure inside, a motif a designer could adapt for historical capitals and border ornament.
