The Institution of Christian religion
A 1587 London theological text by Jean Calvin, translated by Thomas Norton and printed by H. Midleton for W. Norton, aimed at readers of Reformed doctrine. The pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a large decorated initial A, a decorated T with a dark textured ground, a scrolled frieze with a central figure, and a repeating foliate border strip, all useful as historic type-ornament references.
