Stadtbibliothek Bern, Sinner, Johann Rudolph, 1730-1787 · 1760 · Bernae : Ex officina typographica illustr. Reipublicae · 5 pictures

A Latin catalogue of manuscripts in the Bern city library, compiled by Johann Rudolph Sinner and printed in Bern in 1760 for scholars and librarians. Its pictures are typographic ornaments: fleurons, crown-topped cartouches, and a ruled border, plus a sample of manuscript lettering with a decorated initial, useful to a designer looking at eighteenth-century printer's flourishes and framing devices.
