Habes, lector studiosissime, Fancisci Marii Grapaldi opus elegantissimum ea fide eaq[ue] diligentia a nobis excussum ut vix erratum offendas cujus verborum indigestam multidinem ne lectorem quesita offenderent jam in tabulam eamq[ue] optimam optimo dictionus observato ordine redegimus. Eme igitur inco[n]tinenter & lege pensiculatius : multijuga eruditione rerum varietate concinna id etiam (michi crede) relecturus : atq[ue] voluptatem inde non parvam utilitate vero incredibilem recepturus id quod pleriq[ue] omnes & verissimu[m] ipsa lectione liquido cognoscent : & relectione procul dubiofateri ac demum aliis asseveranter praedicare cogentur.

This 1511 Paris printing by Francesco Mario Grapaldo, issued by the bookseller Johannes Granjon for scholarly readers, is a Latin text whose opening pages carry a printer's device. The picture is a woodcut-style emblem: a cross-topped staff above a circle with two stars, a monogram, and a ground of reeds, birds and lettering, offering a designer a compact model for a bookplate or printer's mark.
