Aristotle · [Venice] : [Aldo Manuzio] · 3 pictures

This is a collected edition of Aristotle's works printed in Venice by Aldo Manuzio, aimed at scholars of ancient philosophy, logic, ethics, politics, natural science and mechanics. The three pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters set beside Greek text: two large ornate capital I forms built from interlaced vines, grape clusters and foliage, and one square capital built from tangled knotwork ribbons. A designer could take from them the structure of a historic initial, with its mirrored scrollwork and framed block of text.
