A 1578 Paris compendium of classical mythology compiled from Hyginus, Palaephatus, Fulgentius, Cornutus and others, printed by Guillaume Julien for scholars and students. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials, each a letter framed in curling acanthus foliage around a grotesque bearded mask, with the same motif repeated across the capitals. A designer could take from them a model for ornamental letterforms that pair a face with dense scrollwork.
