Hispani, e Societate Iesv, de Rege et Regis Institutione
A 1605 Latin treatise by the Spanish Jesuit Juan de Mariana, printed in Europe for a learned readership, on kingship and the education of rulers. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initials, a large ornamental P, E, D and T set in heavy scrollwork with foliate and interlace borders, of the kind a designer could adapt for display lettering.
