Bibliotheca
Bibliotheca is a 1574 universal bibliography compiled by Conrad Gessner and Josias Simmler and printed at Zurich by Christoph Froschauer for scholars of Latin, Greek and Hebrew writing. Its pictures are bookplates: a heraldic coat of arms with the motto Gaudeo, and a yellow label with a scroll reading Bibliotheca Sillfridiana framed by ornamental strapwork, useful to a designer for heraldic shields, scrolls and decorative border ornament.
