Crisis
A 1632 Latin-era scholarly treatise by Giacomo Micalori (1570-1645), printed at Urbino by Mazzantinus and Aloysius Ghisonus, on cosmography, astronomy, time reckoning and the Iberian division of American lands, aimed at learned readers. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and a printer's or episcopal coat of arms with tasselled cords, showing squirrels, a bird, foliage and a grotesque face in a square frame, useful to a designer seeking historic ornamental letter blocks and heraldic emblems.
