Vitae jurisconsultorum quorum in Pandectis : extant nomina conscriptae
Vitae jurisconsultorum is a 1690 Latin legal biographical work by Willem de Groot, printed at Leiden by Felix Lopez and later owned by John Adams and Jeremiah Gridley. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials in the D, M and V shapes, set in dense foliate scrollwork, plus a small woodcut of a flower basket that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and border framing.
