A Greek and Latin edition of works by Saint Epiphanius, Bishop of Constantia in Cyprus, printed in Rome in 1587 by Zannettus and Ruffinellus for a scholarly readership, with a zoology subject heading. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initials and a printer's ornament, built from scrolling foliage, interlaced knotwork, and strapwork set around plain capital letters, which a designer could adapt as framed capitals or border fragments.
