A Commentarie of John Calvine upon the first booke of Moses called Genesis
A 1578 London commentary on Genesis by the reformer Jean Calvin, printed for the booksellers John Harison and George Bishop and held as a religious text for Protestant readers. The four pictures are repeated woodcut decorative initials, a large capital T framed in a square of scrolling foliage, knotted strapwork and small dotted rosettes, with the same ornament recurring in each. A designer could draw on the compact, symmetrical arrangement of curls and dots that fills a square letter frame.
