Marmora Arundelliana is a 1629 Latin scholarly book by John Selden, printed in London by Ioannes Billius, the king's printer, for the collector Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, cataloguing Greek marble inscriptions. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a cartouche of scrolls and a grotesque mask, a foliate pendant with rosettes, a chronology column header, and a historiated initial T with fruit, scrolls and a beast, useful for designers studying early modern print decoration.
