Deorvm Fatidicorvm Synopsis Historica / Beschreibung aller vornembsten Heydnischen Oracvlorvm
A 1654 German-Latin book by Jean Jacques Boissard, a historical survey of pagan oracles issued by the Heidelberg University Library, likely for scholars and readers of antiquarian history. The four pictures are inverted triangular ornaments of interlaced scrollwork, foliage and a grotesque mask, set in the printed text, showing how decorative headpieces were built from symmetrical strapwork that a designer could adapt for borders or panels.
