Prudentij opera que in hoc libro continentur. .
A 1512 edition of the works of the Christian poet Prudentius, edited by Antonio de Nebrija and printed at Logroño by Arnald Guillen de Brocar for a scholarly readership. The pictures are black-letter Latin text set in dense columns, with woodcut historiated initials showing a bearded figure with a crown and sceptre, and a decorative title block of interlaced knotwork, foliage borders and a central circular monogram. A designer could take from them the compact rhythm of gothic type blocks, the framed initial letters and the knotwork ornament.
