Praelectiones, in duodecim prophetas (quos vocant) minores ..

Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564 · 1610 · Genevae : Apud Ioannem Vignon · 10 pictures

A 1610 Latin commentary by the Genevan reformer Jean Calvin on the twelve minor prophets, printed in Geneva by Ioannes Vignon for scholars and readers of scripture. Its pictures are woodcut decorative devices: symmetrical ornamental panels of scrollwork, masks and pendant tassels, a foliate border strip, and a historiated initial with a horned figure inside a looping letter frame, useful to a designer for early modern ornament and strapwork.
