Theodori Bezae Vezelii Poemata varia : sylvae, elegiae, epitaphia, epigrammata, icones, emblemata, Cato Censorius : omnia ab ipso auctore in vnum nunc corpus collecta & recognita
Theodore Beza's collected Latin poems, printed in Geneva in 1597 by Henri Estienne, a poetry and emblem collection for scholars and humanist readers. The pictures are small woodcut emblem frames with classical and grotesque ornament: cartouches, mascarons, scrolled borders, and framed landscape vignettes. A designer could take the framing devices and grotesque motifs as reusable border and cartouche ideas.
