Rervm anglicarvm scriptores post Bedam praecipvi
A 1596 London edition of Anglo-Latin chronicles by William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntingdon, Roger of Hoveden and Ethelwerd, printed for a scholarly readership of Latin-reading historians. Its pictures are four woodcut decorative initial letters, each a large capital I built from interlaced scrolls, foliage, and small grotesque faces, with the outer frame lines and a faint text ghost showing through the paper, offering a designer period ornament for display capitals.
