Franciscanus & fratres, quibus accessere varia eiusdem & aliorum poemata pagina
A 1568 Basel printing by T.G. Nervius of George Buchanan's satirical Franciscanus and other poems, with Euripides, issued for a scholarly Latin-reading audience. The four decorated initial letters show woodcut-style scenes set inside the letterforms: V with a bird and foliage, A with a wild animal and a figure, C with a bird and a skull-like face, and N with two hooded men.
