Gram[m]atica Latina Philippi Melanchtonis : Syntaxis, seu de constructione libellus eiusdem. De periodis. De quantitate syllabarum
A 1539 Latin grammar by Philipp Melanchthon, printed in Paris by Robert Estienne for students of Latin. Its two pictures are small printers' ornaments: a heraldic coat of arms with two angels and the motto IEHOVA JIREH, and a woodcut tree beneath the label NOLI ALTUM SAPERE. They offer a designer models for compact, symmetrical emblem-style devices and framed motto labels in early modern print.
