D. Francisci Dvareni i.c. celeberrimi, Omnia qvae qvidem hactenvs edita fvervnt opera : non tantvm plvrimis in Digesta seu Pandectas, & Codicem commentariis ac methodicis expositionibus
A 1598 Latin edition of the collected legal works of French jurist François Douaren, printed at Frankfurt by the heirs of Andreas Wechel with Claudius Marnius and Johannes Aubrius, aimed at scholars of Roman and canon law. The pictures are four decorated woodcut initials, E, C, C and I, each a letter framed by foliage, scrolls and small figures. A designer could draw on their dense interlaced ornament and the way figures sit inside letterforms.
