Bernardini Telesii ... De natvra ivxta propria principia liber primvs, et secvndvs
A 1565 Latin philosophy treatise on natural principles by Bernardino Telesio, printed in Rome by Antonio Blado for scholars and readers of Aristotelian natural philosophy. Its two pictures are historiated initials, woodcut capitals with small framed scenes inside the letter: one shows a figure with a bird-like creature beside a tree and river, the other shows two wrestling or embracing nude figures within a Q, both framed by dense parallel hatching that a designer could borrow for decorative letter panels.
