A 1554 Greek and Latin edition of Hermetic texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus and Asclepius, printed in Paris by Adrien Turnèbe, the royal printer, and held in C.G. Jung's library. Its pictures are letter-initials in woodcut, each a large capital framed by dense scrolling acanthus leaves and foliage in a Renaissance manner. A designer could draw on these as a model for decorative capitals, border ornament, and monogram-like letterforms built from vine scrolls.
