Hispaniae illustratæ seu Rerum vrbiumq. Hispaniæ, Lusitaniæ, Æthiopiæ et Indiæ scriptores varii. : Partim editi nunc primum, partim aucti atque emendati. : Quorum seriem sequens post præfationem pagina exhibet. : Tomis aliquot diuisi.
A 1603 Frankfurt compilation of writings on the histories of Spain, Portugal, Ethiopia and India, edited by Andreas Schott and printed by Claudius Marnius and the heirs of Johann Aubrius for scholarly readers. The single picture is a woodcut printer's device, with a winged horse above a caduceus-like staff, palm fronds, a pair of W-shaped monograms and a cloud base, rendered in dense black line on aged paper. A designer could take its heraldic symmetry and the compact, emblem-like arrangement of symbols inside a bounded shape.
