Acta Synodi nationalis, in nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi ..
A 1620 Latin record of the Synod of Dort's national acts, printed at Leiden by Isaac Elzevier for a Reformed Protestant and scholarly readership. Its pictures are four ornamental decorated initial letters (P, D, A, E) with dense scrolling foliage, grotesque faces and fantastic creatures, showing how printers framed a capital letter with interlaced vegetal borders that a designer could adapt for display lettering and frames.
