Pausaniæ accurata Graeciae descriptio : qua lector ceu manu per eam regionem circumducitur: a Guilielmo Xylandro Augustano diligenter recognita, & ab innumeris mendis repurgata. Accesserunt annotationes, quæ a G. Xylandro paulo ante obitum inchoatæ, nunc vero a Frid. Sylb. continuatæ ... addita etiam doctissima Romuli Amasæi versio ..
This is a 1583 Greek travel guide by Pausanias, edited by Wilhelm Xylander and Friedrich Sylburg and printed at Frankfurt by the heirs of Andreas Wechel for scholars and readers of Greek. Its four pictures are woodcut initial letters, a P, Q, O and D, each set in a dense frame of acanthus scrolls, leaves and grotesque masks, a model for designers seeking Renaissance letterforms and ornamental borders.
