Libri quatuor de antiqvitatibvs Lvsitaniae
A 1593 Latin antiquarian treatise on the antiquities of Lusitania, by André de Resende and later editors, printed at Évora by Martinus Burgensis for scholars and readers of Roman history. Its pictures are woodcut decorated initial letters: an ornate framed initial with a grotesque face in foliage, and plainer capitals P and M and D set in dense vine and leaf borders, showing how Renaissance printers built letters from scrolling botanical ornament that designers can adapt for display type or frames.
