Consiliorum. Studio & operâ collectorum ..
A 1649 Frankfurt legal treatise on Roman law, collected by Kaspar Klock, Thomas Merckelbach and Christoph Ludwig Dietherr and published by Wolfgang Endter, aimed at jurists and scholars. Its pictures are decorative printer's initials and ornamental capitals built from interlaced scrollwork, foliage and curling tendrils, some with bold black shading and others with fine outline, useful for designers seeking historical letterforms and ornament borders.
