Operum D. Basilij Magni Caesariae Cappadociae quondam archiepiscopi prior tomus : cuius par multò melior nunc demum solerti industria nec minùs accurata collatione ad fidem Graecorum aliquot archetypon partim restituta est synceriori quàm hactenus lectioni
A 1547 Latin edition of the works of Saint Basil of Caesarea, printed in Paris by Charlotte Guillard, a theological text edited from Greek manuscripts for scholars and clergy. Its four pictures are historiated initial letters, each an E set in a black field of stippled dots with cream-colored ornamental scrollwork, a lattice of white ground and a clean outlined variant; a designer could take from them the framed capital with interlaced foliage and the contrast between dense dotted grounds and open line drawing.
