Omnes Georgii Macropedii Fabvlae comicae, denvo recognite, et iusto ordine (prout editae sunt) in duas partes diuisae

Macropedius, Georgius, 1485 or 6-1558 · 1552 · Vltraiecti H. Borculous · 14 pictures

A 1552 Latin edition of comic plays by Georgius Macropedius, printed at Utrecht by H. Borculous, likely for schoolroom use in the Latin humanist tradition. The pictures are small woodcut-style staves with diamond-shaped noteheads on ruled lines, showing musical notation rather than scenes, useful to a designer for rhythmic linear pattern and simple geometric motifs.
