Sancti Ephraem Syri, patris et scriptoris ecclesiae antiquissimi et dignissimi, opera omnia quotquot in insignioribus Italiae bibliothecis, praecipue Romanis Graece inveniri potuerunt in tres tomos digesta

Ephraem Syrus, Vossius, Gerardus Joannes · 1616 · apud Arnoldum Quentelium · 26 pictures

A 1616 Latin edition of the works of Ephraem the Syrian, collected by Gerardus Joannes Vossius and printed by Arnold Quentel, a Cologne printer, for scholars and churchmen. The pictures are repeated printer's ornaments: a triangular pendant of interlaced scrollwork, hatched shading, and curling tendrils cut as woodblock lines on a pale ground, useful to a designer seeking early modern decorative motifs.
