Ioannis Calvini praelectiones in duodecim prophetas (quos vocant) minores ..
A Latin commentary by Jean Calvin on the twelve minor prophets, printed in Geneva in 1559 by Joannes Crispinus for a scholarly readership of churchmen and students. Its pictures are decorative initial letters and roundels built from interlaced scrolls, leafy tendrils and small dotted rosettes, framed by corner ornaments, showing how sixteenth-century printers made capitals that a designer could adapt for borders or monograms.
