Institutiones linguae Hebraicae : postremo recognitae, ac locupletatae
A 1618 Hebrew grammar by Robert Bellarmine, printed in Geneva by Pierre de la Rouiere, intended for students of the Hebrew language. The pictures are four decorative woodcut initial letters in the same square frame, each filled with interlaced foliage, scrollwork and stylised vegetal ornament; a designer could take from them a model for dense, symmetrical frame ornament built from simple strokes.
