Hortus Indicus Malabaricus is a 1678 Amsterdam botanical catalogue of Malabar Coast plants, compiled by Henrik van Rheede with Johannes Casearius and edited by Theodoor Janssen van Almeloveen for botanists and scholars. Its pictures are the printed Latin and vernacular text blocks beside large decorative initial letters, with dense scrollwork, flourished capitals and crowded italic lines a designer could draw on for historical display type and ornamental letterforms.
