Asotus Evangelicus; seu Evangelica de filio prodigo; parabola comice descripta
A Latin Renaissance school play by Georgius Macropedius, printed in 1537 at Busciducis by Gerardus Hatardus, a comic retelling of the Prodigal Son parable meant for students. The first picture is a woodcut title page with an ornate architectural border of putti, scrollwork and grotesques around centred Latin type. The second is a printer's device of a winged griffin-like creature above scrolled foliage and clouds, a compact emblem a designer could adapt for a logo or seal.
