A 1602 Latin compilation issued at Frankfurt by Matthäus Becker's press, gathering Acosta's natural history of the Indies with accounts of Dutch voyages through the Strait of Magellan and around the world, prepared for Theodor de Bry's heirs and sons. Its pictures are four repeated woodcut initial letters, two L's, an I and a second L, framed by curling foliage, grotesque heads, and a seated figure with a goat-like creature, offering a designer ideas for ornamental capitals and decorative borders.
