Libri quatuor de scrupulis chronologor[um] in quibus non solum calculus sacræ scripturæ cum serie quatuor monarchiarum, & olympiadibus Græcorum, atq[ue] annis ab urbe Roma condita pulcherrima harmonia conciliatur : sed etiam quam plurimi et difficilimi scrupuli, qui hactenus in hanc harmoniam irrepserant, multosq[ue] antiquitatis & veritatis diligentissimos inquisitores non parum torserant, ita eximuntur, ut maiore cum luce, fructu & voluptate tam sacræ quàm prophanæ historiæ ab omnibus legi possint

A Latin chronology treatise by Clemens Schubert, printed at Strasbourg in 1575 by Bernhard Jobin, aimed at scholars of sacred and profane history. Three pages are dense strapwork and interlace bands framing rows of ornament, and the fourth is a large historiated initial M showing a crowned figure with armoured soldiers and attendants, a useful model for border and capital ornament.
