Gottfrid Arnolds Unparteyische Kirchen- und Ketzer-Historie : von Anfang des Neuen Testaments biss auff das Jahr Christi 1688
A German church history by Gottfried Arnold, published in Frankfurt am Main in 1700 by Thomas Fritsch, covering the New Testament period to 1688 and written for a learned Protestant readership. Its decorative initials are large black letters on cream ground, each wrapped in fine looping scrollwork with curls and dotted filigree, giving a designer a dense, calligraphic model for ornamental capitals and border flourishes.
