Artis cabalisticæ scriptores: hoc est, reconditæ theologiæ et philosophiæ scriptorum: tomus I. In quo praeter Pauli Ricii theologicos et philosophicos libros sunt latini penè omnes et hebræi nonnulli præstantissimi scriptores, qui artem commentariis suis illustrarunt ... / Ex D. Ioanni Pistori Nidani ... bibliotheca.
A 1587 Basel edition printed by Sebastian Henricpetri, a scholarly collection of Latin and Hebrew Kabbalistic and philosophical texts gathered by Johann Pistorius the Younger for a learned readership. The pictures are type-set pages with large decorated initial letters, one containing a small figure of a putto or cherub, with dense black letterforms and ornate scrollwork that a designer could draw on for display capitals, border ornament, or a historical typographic texture.
