Kurtzer vnd war=hafftiger Bericht/ Von der Reis aus Venedig nach Hierusalem/ Von dan=nen in Aegypten/ auff den Berg Sinai, Alcair/ Alexandria/ vnd folgends widerumb gen Ve=nedig.
A 1579 German account by Johannes Helffrich of a pilgrimage route from Venice to Jerusalem, Egypt, Mount Sinai, Cairo and Alexandria, printed as a travel report for a German-reading audience. The pages open with a large decorated initial S above a symmetrical scroll ornament, and the woodcut strapwork blocks repeat as ornamental dividers. A mounted horseman with a lance in a traveller's costume is a woodcut that suggests period figure work and dense ornament a designer could adapt for historical borders.
