Impii per ivstvm in Iosve Iericho demoliente;
A Latin religious treatise printed in Rome in 1693 by the Apostolic Chamber press, with the Fisher Rare Book Library's copy showing two woodcut decorated initial letters: a large L framed by leaves and flowers, and a B with foliage and clover-like blossoms, the B set beside a small printed word heading. These ornamental capitals show how a designer can frame a single letter with stylised leaves, buds and scrolled vines drawn in a bold, dense black line.
