The orator: handling a hundred seuerall discourses, in forme of declamations: some of the arguments being drawne from Titus Liuius and other ancient writers, the rest of the authors owne inuention: part of which are of matters happened in our age
The Orator is a 1596 London rhetoric collection of a hundred declamations, translated by Anthony Munday from Le Sylvain and printed by Adam Islip for students and readers of persuasive speech. Its four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, a large capital T and I framed by symmetrical scrolling foliage, with ornate leaves, curls and small flower-like buds that a designer could adapt for display capitals and borders.
