Sentenciae ex doctoribvs collectae, qvas papistæ ualde impudenter hodie damnant
A 1536 Lutheran theological collection of patristic sentences by Robert Barnes and Johann Bugenhagen, printed at Wittenberg, aimed at scholars and clergy disputing Catholic doctrine. Its four decorated initials are woodcut letterforms built from scrolling acanthus, with a winged griffin-like creature, a lion-like beast, and a small putto or cherub, offering a designer ideas for ornamental capitals that mix classical foliage with fantastic animals.
