Franciscanvs et fratres. Elegiarvm liber I. Silvarvm liber I. Hendecasyllaben liber I. Epigrammtum libri III. Quibus iam recens accedunt De sphaera libri V
A 1594 Latin collection of poems by George Buchanan, printed at Heidelberg for a scholarly readership. The four pictures are repeated horizontal strip ornaments, each a dense woodcut band of scrolling foliage around a central urn or vase motif, likely used as tailpieces or dividers. A designer could take from them the symmetrical scroll-and-acanthus framing and the way a single centred vessel anchors a long border.
