Antonii van Dale ... Dissertationes de origine ac progressu idololatriae et superstitionum: de vera ac falsa prophetia; uti et de divinationibus idololatricis Judaeorum
A 1696 Latin scholarly treatise by Antonius van Dale, published in the Netherlands by Henricus and the widow of Theodorus Boom, dealing with idolatry, superstition and prophecy for a learned readership of scholars and theologians. Its four woodcut pictures repeat one small headpiece of a flower arrangement in a footed urn, printed in bold black strokes on rough paper, with a plain, crisp outline style a designer could adapt for botanical or vintage ornament.
