Trithemius sui-ipsius vindex sive steganographiae ... viri Ioannis Trithemii, primo Spanheimensis ... apologetica defensio : accessit in fine fragmentum quaestionum eiusdem Trithemii

Trithemius, Johannes, Dullinger, Siegmund · 1616 · ex typographeo Ederiano, apud Elisabetham Angermariam · 5 pictures

A 1616 Latin defence of Johannes Trithemius's steganography, printed at the Ederian press and issued by Elisabetha Angermaria, with the text set in dense roman type for a scholarly readership. The pictures are small woodcut and typographic ornaments: a looping strapwork headpiece, a band of interlaced rosettes, a large display capital, and an oval framed figure with allegorical women and a sword. A designer could draw on the strapwork and framed-medallion layouts for early modern title pages.
