Ioannis Saresberiensis Policraticus, siue De nugis curialium, & vestigiis philosophorum, libri octo : accedit huic editioni eiusdem Metalogicus : cum indice copiosissimo
A 1639 Leiden edition of John of Salisbury's Policraticus, a twelfth-century Latin treatise on courtly life and philosophy, printed by Ioannis Maire for scholars and readers of Latin. Its pictures are small printed ornaments: a large decorated initial I framed in scrolling foliage and a woodcut-style vignette of a beast among curling leaves, both usable as pattern sources for historical borders, drop caps and vintage ornament.
