Cornelii Giselberti Plempii Musius, sive, Rhythmi : cum poëmatijs
A 1618 Latin collection of rhymed verse by Cornelius Gisbertus Plemp, published in Amsterdam by Johannes Walschaert for a learned, Latin-reading audience. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a heart-shaped scroll, a dense strapwork cartouche, a band of putti and foliage, and a printer's device of two figures in an oval frame. A designer could draw on their compact, symmetrical scrollwork for borders, dividers and emblem-style vignettes.
