Bibliothēkēs ē peri theōn biblion á. In usum schulae Westmonasteriensis

Apollodorus, of Athens · 1686 · Londini, Typis Eliz. Redmayne · 4 pictures

A Latin-annotated Greek mythology text by Apollodorus of Athens, printed in London in 1686 for use at Westminster School. Its pictures are small woodcut decorations: a fleur-de-lis-free set of ornamental initial letters with foliage scrolls, a flower inside an oval frame bordered by leaves, and a shield of arms with birds and a cross. A designer might take from them the compact, repeatable scale of early modern printers' ornaments for framing headings and drop caps.

Mythology, Greek
