Abrahami Ortelii Antverpiani Synonymia geographica, sive populorum, regionum, insularum ... appellationes & nomina. : Opus non tantùm geographis, sed etiam historiæ & poëseos studiosis vtile ac necessarium
A 1578 Latin reference work by Abraham Ortelius, printed at Antwerp by the Plantin press, cataloguing geographical names of peoples, regions and islands for geographers and students of history and poetry. The four pictures are printer's ornaments: a scrolled cartouche, a floral strapwork panel, a heraldic shield with a motto reading GAUDEO, and a woodcut device with a lion-like beast in a walled landscape inside a border reading CONSTANTIA.
