Historia Gotthorum, Vandalorum, & Langobardorum is a 1655 Latin history of the Goths, Vandals and Lombards, compiled by Hugo Grotius with earlier writers Procopius, Jordanes and Isidore, and printed in Amsterdam by the Elzevier press for scholarly readers. The pictures are four woodcut decorative initial letters, two large ornamented I's, a P and an E, with dense scrolling foliage filling the space around each letter, which a designer could borrow for drop caps or border ornament.
