Ioannis Reuchlin Phorcensis LL. Doc. ad Dionysium fratrem suum Germanum De rudimentis Hebraicis liber primus

Reuchlin, Johann, 1455-1522, Simler, Georg, -1535, author of afterword, colophon, etc, Anshelm, Thomas, printer, Reichsstift Salem (Salem, Baden-Wu˜rttemberg, Germany), former owner · 1506 · Phorce : In aedib. Tho. Anshelmi · 1 picture

A 1506 Latin grammar of Hebrew by the German humanist Johann Reuchlin, printed at Pforzheim by Thomas Anshelm for his younger brother Dionysius, and later owned by the Reichsstift Salem monastery. The picture is a black rectangular printer's device with a white monogram of an A and B crossed by a staff, set into a white page with the printed lines of the title beside it. A designer might take from it the strong figure-ground contrast of a reversed woodcut emblem and the compact, symmetrical logic of an early printer's mark.
