Commentarius in Apostolorum Acta
A Latin commentary on the Acts of the Apostles by John Malcolm, printed in Middelburg in 1634 by Simonis Moulerti for a Puritan and biblical readership. The pictures are repeated woodcut initial P letters, each a large white roman P set in a black-ruled square with horizontal hatching and curling foliate scrollwork, a flower-like bud at the bowl and acanthus-like tendrils filling the corners. A designer might take the ornate block-initial framing and the hatched background as models for decorative capitals.
