Cicero, Marcus Tullius, Lambin, Denys, Godefroy, Denis · 1588 · sumptibus Sybillae a Porta · 43 pictures

This is a 1588 edition of Cicero's collected works, edited with Lambin's and Godefroy's notes and published in Geneva at the expense of Sybille a Porta, drawn from the C.G. Jung library. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initials, letters O, C and Q framed by scrolling foliage, with a grotesque mask in the first and a winged putto or figure in the second, all printed beside the Latin text. A designer could take from them the interlaced acanthus borders and the mask-within-letter device as models for ornamental capitals and frames.
