Ad mortalium oblectationem. auctoris effigiem. huic. diuino operi: Stephanus Basignanas Gorgonius: Carmelita: theologus: ponendam curauit
A 1516 Latin book printed at Lyon by Bernardus Lescuyer, a Carmelite theologian's edition of Baptista Mantuanus, kept at the John Carter Brown Library. The pictures show a woodcut printer's device framed in a rectangle, with a winged female figure on a flowering stem flanked by flames and a Latin motto banner, plus an armorial title border; a designer could take from them the compact, symmetrical vertical framing of emblematic woodcut devices.
