Pedro de São Francisco, Fr · 1629 · Em Lisboa : Por Pedro Craesbeeck Impressor del Rey. · 21 pictures

A Portuguese devotional commentary on Psalm 50 by Fr. Pedro de São Francisco, printed in Lisbon in 1629 by Pedro Craesbeeck, printer to the King, and written at the request of a nun, Madre Dona Isabel de Sancto Antonio. The pictures are small woodcut initials and ornamental letters, a round C and an E with dense foliate borders of scrolls, leaves and rosettes, showing how early modern printers framed capitals with repeating fleshy, symmetrical ornament that a designer could adapt for decorative letterforms or borders.
