Inscriptionvm antiqvarvm quae passim per Europam liber : accessit avctarivm a Ivsto Lipsio
A 1588 Latin collection of Roman inscriptions gathered from across Europe by Martinus Smetius and supplemented by Justus Lipsius, printed in Leiden by the Plantin press for scholars and antiquarians. Its pictures are letterpress transcriptions of epitaphs set inside engraved frames, pedestals and tablets, showing classical lettering with abbreviations, ligatures and ruled borders that a designer could draw on for classical typography and inscription layouts.
