Higinius de stellis
This is a 1513 Latin astronomy text, Hyginus's De astronomia, printed at Pavia by Jacob de Burgofranco for the heirs of Octavianus Scotus and partners, and held by the John Carter Brown Library. The pictures are plain black-and-white pages of dense roman-type columns, each opening with a large decorative woodcut initial letter, and the set suggests how a printed page can lean on a single ornate capital for its visual anchor.
