Originum Gallicarum liber ... : Cui accedit antiquae linguae Britannicae lexicon Britannico-Latinum cum adjectis & insertis ejusdem authoris Adagiis Britannicis sapientiae veterum Druidum reliquiis, & aliis antiquitatis Britannicae Gallicaeque nonnnullis monumentis
A 1654 Latin antiquarian treatise on Gallic origins and an ancient British lexicon, written by Marcus Zuerius Boxhorn and printed in Amsterdam by J. Jansson for scholars of early European languages and antiquities. Its four pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and tailpieces: a letter O framed by foliage, a scrolled cartouche, a potted plant inside an oval O, and a winged figure above a globe flanked by two workers, with a Latin motto on a banner. A designer could draw on their compact, dense line-work and framed ornamental lettering.
