Levini Apollonii, Gandobrugani, Mittelburgensis, de Peruviæ, regionis, inter Noui Orbis prouincias celeberrimæ, inuentione: trebus in eadem gestis, libri V. ... : breuis, exactʹaque Noui Orbis, & Peruuiæ regionis chorographia
A 1567 Latin history of the Peruvian conquest by Levinus Apollonius, printed at Antwerp by Johannes Bellerus for a scholarly readership, with an ornate decorated initial A opening the text beside a column of marginal index entries in dense black-letter-like type. The picture offers a model for a historical book's opening page, pairing a foliated woodcut initial with tidy tabular text a designer could borrow for a classical layout.
