Grammatica latino-francica -- [microforme]

Ramus, Petrus, 1515-1572 · 1590 · Francofurdi : J. Wechelum · 11 pictures

A Latin-French grammar by Petrus Ramus, printed at Frankfurt by J. Wechel in 1590 for students learning Latin through French. The pictures are woodcut typographic ornaments: a decorated initial G beside running Latin text, a scrolled headpiece above the word GRAMMATI-, a foliate border strip, and a grotesque face framed by volutes and leaves. A designer could take from them the dense scrollwork, acanthus curls and mask motifs of sixteenth-century printer's ornament.
