Artemidori Daldiani & Achmetis Sereimi f. Oneirocritica
This 1603 Paris printing, published by Marcus Orry in Lutetia, collects Greek dream-interpretation treatises by Artemidorus, Ahmad ibn Sirin, Astrampsychus and Nicephorus for scholars and readers of classical and Byzantine texts. Its pictures are small woodcut initials, one a tall framed letter with grotesque masks, scrolling foliage and a central face, and another a large ornamental capital filled with dense leafy tendrils that a designer could adapt for decorative letterforms, borders or title pages.
