Iulii Caesaris Scaligeri viri clarissimi Poemata omnia in duas partes devisa : pleraque omnia in publicum iam primum prodeunt: reliqua vero quam ante emendatius edita sunt : Sopohoclis Aiax Lorarius stylo tragico
A 1600 Latin poetry collection by Julius Caesar Scaliger, published in Heidelberg by the Commelin press and held by the Boston Public Library, with the Sophocles tragedy Ajax Lorarius appended. The pictures are small woodcut-style printer's ornaments: a cherub head framed by swirling cornucopia-like scrolls, ribbons and tassels, plus a decorative initial Q with a lion-like mask, useful for designers seeking classical, early-modern ornament motifs.
