Der fürtrefflich griechisch Geschichtschreiber Herodianus, den der hochgelert Angelus Politianus inn das Latein, vnd Hieronymus Boner in nachuolgend Teütsch pracht : wellicher Herodianus von Marco Elio Antonino Philosopho an, vntz auff Gordianum den jüngern römischen Keysern, vnnd jrer Regierung, die sich wunderbarlich zůtragen, geschriben hat
A 1531 German translation of the Greek historian Herodian's history of the Roman emperors, printed in Augsburg by Heinrich Steyner and rendered into German by Hieronymus Boner from Angelo Poliziano's Latin version. The first picture shows two full-length armoured emperors standing in profiled woodcut frames beneath a large decorated initial, with the second a narrow ornamental frieze of putti, a central portrait medallion, and carved garlands. Designers might draw on the sixteenth-century German armour detail and the classical putti and garland frieze for period ornament.
