A 1619 Hebrew grammar by the Jesuit cardinal Roberto Bellarmino, printed in Cologne by Franciscus Faber for scholars and students of Hebrew, later owned by John Adams. Its pages carry Latin text with Hebrew type and decorative woodcut initials of interlaced foliage, strapwork and knotwork in a dense, bordered style a designer could borrow for capitals, frames or ornamental panels.
