Liber ethymologiarum Isidori Hyspalensis episcopi

Isidorus Hispalensis · 1489 · [Furter] · 2 pictures

A 1489 printed edition of Isidore of Seville's encyclopedic Etymologies, issued by the printer Furter and held in the library of C.G. Jung, aimed at scholars and clergy reading Latin learning. The two pictures are a black and gold heraldic bookplate with an angel above a shield bearing a star and cross, and a woodcut family-tree style diagram of branching roots and hexagonal cells of text under scrolled banners, giving a designer strong examples of medieval armorial framing and diagrammatic layout.
