M. Tullius Cicero Mannucciorum commentariis illustratus antiquaeq. lectioni restitutus
A 1583 Venetian edition of Cicero's works, printed by the Aldine press with commentary by the Manuzio family, aimed at scholars and classical readers. The pictures are woodcut type ornaments: two long interlace friezes of scrolling knotwork and grotesque heads, and an historiated initial E framing a rampant lion and a bird amid acanthus leaves beside the text block, useful to a designer for border bands, interlace patterning and decorative capitals.
