Josephi Mariae Suaresii ... De numismatis & nummis antiquis dissertatio
A 1683 Latin dissertation on ancient coins and numismatics by Joseph Marie Suarès, printed for scholars and antiquarians, held by Heidelberg University Library. Its pictures are a large decorated initial D with foliate scrollwork beside a line of black-letter-style text, and a small symmetrical ornament of scrolls, rosettes and dots; a designer might take from them the dense, carved botanical initial and the compact, balanced vignette style of 17th-century printed ornament.
