Persii Trevi ad librum De sero lactis Stephani Roderici,... declamationes seu privatae quaedam ac domesticae exercitationes. Editio secunda, quam auctor suam agnoscit, auxit, emendavit

Servius, Petrus (anagr. Persius Trevus) · 1634 · Romae : ex typ. F. Corbelletti · 2 pictures

This is a 1634 Latin satirical-pamphlet-style text printed in Rome by the Corbelletti press, a second edition of a private declamation on whey by Esteban Rodrigo de Castro, held by a Paris health-sciences library. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut and letterpress images: a decorative flower-and-leaf woodcut figure with a bird-like form, and an ornamental initial Q with foliate scrollwork set beside dense serif Latin type, useful for designers seeking historic pen-and-type ornament and early modern book layout.
