Kununga ok hödfinga styrilse, hoc est Regum principumque institutio ab incerto auctore gentis sueticae ante saecula nonnulla patrio sermone conscripta
A Latin and Old Norse treatise on kingship and the education of princes, printed in Stockholm in 1669 by N. Wankijf and edited by the scholar Johannes Scheffer from an anonymous Swedish text. The pictures are repeated woodcut headpieces, each a symmetrical fan of acanthus scrolls, curling tendrils and a central beast or figure, printed as decorative openers for chapters. A designer could take from them a model for symmetrical ornamental headpieces built from foliage scrolls and a central motif.
