Új testamentu maar ellven, mellet az görög és diák ellvbol ... fordijtant [Sylvester János.]

Sylvester, János, ca. 1504-1572?, Varjas, Béla · 1541 · [Sárvár] · 346 pictures

A 1541 Hungarian New Testament translated by János Sylvester and printed at Sárvár, presumably for Protestant readers of the period. Its pictures are small woodcut decorated initials, each letter E framed in a rectangle and filled with figures, scrollwork and grotesque ornament, showing how early printers built a letter from pictorial blocks that a designer could adapt for display type or border frames.
