Narrationes modernae, or Modern reports begun in the now Upper bench court at Westminster
Narrationes modernae is a 1658 London law reports collection compiled by reporters William Style and Henry Rolle, printed for the legal trade and the King's Bench court at Westminster. The picture is a woodcut decorative initial A, with a large black letter framed by interlaced scrolls, leaf-like curls and stippled tendrils, a seventeenth-century printer's ornament a designer could borrow for letterpress capitals, borders or vintage headers.
