Homer, Didymus, Chalcenterus · 1535 · Basileae, Apud I. Hervagium · 30 pictures

A 1535 Greek and Latin edition of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey with commentary by Didymus Chalcenterus, printed in Basel by Hervagius for scholars and students. The four pictures are historiated initial A letters, each a square woodcut block with the letter set among leafy scrolls, birds and foliage, and the block design repeats with variations in the later examples, showing how Renaissance printers reused ornament for capitals.
