Acta Synodi Tridentinae
Acta Synodi Tridentinae is a 1547 theology book about the Council of Trent, attributed to Jean Calvin, with no publisher named and no place given. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initials, so the record itself says little about who it was made for. The pictures show square letter blocks, with the capitals P, S and Q set against dense stippled grounds and curling foliage, a stock device a designer could adapt for a drop cap or monogram.
