Tituli Calvinistarum, collecti, in ordinem redacti, et explicati
A polemical Latin treatise by Martin Becanus, a Jesuit controversialist, printed at Mainz in 1614 by Ioannis Albinus and aimed at a scholarly readership opposing Calvinism. The four pictures are repeated woodcut ornamental initials, each a letter C framed by interlaced scrollwork with a central diamond of leaves and a small pendant motif, set against striped hatching. A designer could take from them the dense, repetitive interlace of early seventeenth-century German typographic ornament, useful for borders or monogram frames.
