Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564 · 1602 · Leyden : Ian Paedts Iacobsz. ende Ian Bouvvensz. · 8 pictures

This is a 1602 Dutch edition of Jean Calvin's Christian doctrine, printed at Leyden by Ian Paedts Iacobsz. and Ian Bouvvensz. for a Reformed Protestant readership. The pictures are small woodcut initials and a printer's ornament: the decorated G and A carry grotesque figures, a mermaid-like creature, and dogs within scrolling foliage, while the tailpiece is a symmetrical strapwork flourish a designer could adapt for borders.
