Aristotle · [Venice] : [Aldo Manuzio] · 6 pictures

Aristotle's collected works, printed in Venice under the Aldine press and aimed at scholars and students of philosophy, logic, natural history and politics. The four pictures are interlace woodcut initial letters with knotted ribbon strapwork framing a large capital, one with a looping ornamental M-like form, and a designer could borrow their dense braided borders and framed monogram structure for decorative lettering.
