Descriptionis Ptolemaicae augmentum, siue, Occidentis notitia : breui commentario illustrata, et hac secunda editione magna sui parte aucta
A 1603 Latin geographical treatise by Corneille Wytfliet, printed at Douai by the bookseller Franciscus Fabri, expanding Ptolemy's description of the western world with a brief commentary for scholars and map readers. Its pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: decorated initial letter I blocks with interlaced strapwork and a lion-mask cartouche with scrolls and volutes. A designer could draw on their dense hatched shading and symmetrical framing for historical border or initial-letter work.
