Müller, Jacob, fl. 1591 · 1591 · Monachii : Ex Officina Typographica Adami Berg · 236 pictures

A 1591 Latin and German manual of church furnishing and decoration by Jacob Müller, printed in Munich by Adam Berg's workshop for prelates and rectors of the Regensburg diocese. Its four pictures are square woodcut initials built from interlaced strapwork, scrolling foliage and tall flame-like forms in dense black and white, which a designer could use as models for ornamental capitals, borders and letter-based emblems.
