Operum nova editio, graecè et latiné
A 1597 Greek and Latin edition of Aristotle's collected works, printed by G. Laemarius in Geneva for scholars and university readers. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a grotesque face with foliage and swags, a face inside a decorated letter O, and a mask with snakes and tassels, plus an engraved title page with a printer's name at the foot. A designer might borrow the symmetrical, bracketed decorative frames and the mask motifs for historical ornament.
