Ex legibus Ebraeorum forensibus contra magiam, de maleficio ...
A Latin legal treatise by Johann Daniel Wolff, printed in Strasbourg in 1694 by J.F. Spoor, dealing with Hebrew law against magic and sorcery for a scholarly readership. The single picture is a large decorative initial letter L, a woodcut of dense scrolling foliage with leaf sprays and curled tendrils filling a square field around a plain bold letter. A designer could take from it a model for ornamental capitals and border-filled letterforms in early modern print.
