Ethica symbolica is a 1675 Latin emblem book printed in Munich by Sebastian Rauch for the Munich booksellers Johann Wagner and Johann Hermann von Geldern, drawing on classical fables to moralise. Its decorative blocks are woodcut borders and ornamental bands built from repeated rosettes, scrolls and leaf sprays, several arranged in triangular or stepped patterns that suit repeat-pattern and border design.
