De hypostatica dvarvm in Christo naturarum vnione & eius effectis, placida & Christiana disceptatio
A 1579 Latin theological treatise on the hypostatic union of Christ's two natures, printed at Geneva by Eustathius Vignon and written by Théodore de Bèze and Johannes Pappus. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments and initials: a grotesque mask in a scrolled cartouche, a strip with cherubs flanking a lyre, a decorated letter E, and an anchor entwined with a serpent and held by cloud-like figures. Their dense black line work and mixed grotesque and emblematic motifs suggest sixteenth-century devices for borders, headpieces, and initial letters.
