A 1661 Latin edition of Historia Augusta biographies of Roman emperors, edited with commentary by Casaubon, Saumaise, Gruterus and Schrevel and printed at Leiden by Francis Hack for scholars. Its pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a repeated foliage frieze with winged putti and a central mask, a scrolled cartouche with mermaid-like figures, and a bust portrait of a man in a wig, which a designer might borrow for decorative borders and headers.
