Orationes Aeschinis et Demosthenis inter se contrariae à Dionysio Lambino ... in Latinum sermonem conuersae

Aeschines, Demosthenes. On the crown. Latin, Lambin, Denys, 1520 or 21-1572 · 1565 · Lvtetiae, Apud viduâ G. Morelij · 8 pictures

A 1565 Latin translation of the speeches of Aeschines and Demosthenes, rendered by Denys Lambin and printed in Paris by the widow of G. Morelius for scholars and students of classical oratory. The pictures are printer's ornaments: a scrolled horizontal border with grotesque masks, a repeating printed fabric-like pattern of red and green flowers and berries on a tan ground, and a large decorative initial Q with foliage and acanthus scrolls, all of which a designer could take as period decorative models for borders, pattern repeats and display initials.
