Epigrammata Philippi Melanthonis selectiora : formvlis precvm, historiis, paraphrasi dictorum diuinorum, & sententijs grauissimis maxime insignia
A 1583 Latin book of selected epigrams by the Reformation scholar Philipp Melanchthon, printed at Frankfurt am Main by the Feyerabend press with woodcut illustrations by Jost Amman, intended for students and readers of Latin verse. The pictures are framed woodcut vignettes with ornate scrollwork borders showing biblical and classical scenes, including a fiery sun, a city with a fountain, a hunter with a bow, and figures before a burning building, useful to designers seeking Renaissance ornamental framing and narrative engraving.
