En damus chronicon divinum : plane opus eruditissimorum autorum, repetitum ab ipso mundi initio, ad annum usque salutis M.D.XII. Eusebii Pamphili Caesariensis .

Sichardt, Johannes, 1499-1552, Eusebius, of Caesarea, Bishop of Caesarea, approximately 260-approximately 340 · 1529 · Basileae : Excudebat Henricus Petrus · 2 pictures

A 1529 chronicle printed in Basel by Henricus Petrus, compiled by Johannes Sichardt from Eusebius of Caesarea's universal history, running from the world's beginning to 1512 and issued for scholars and readers of Latin. The two pictures are plain printer's ornaments: a heraldic shield with a chevron, three figures and an eagle beneath a crest and the motto GAUDEO, and a horizontal strip of scrolling foliage with winged creatures. A designer could draw on the shield's cartouche framing and the strip's interlaced scrollwork for borders and dividers.
