Practycke der Nederlansche rechten, van de daghelijcksche soo civile als criminele questien
A 1645 Dutch legal handbook printed at Leeuwarden by G. Sijbes, compiled by Bernhard van Zutphen on Netherlandish civil and criminal law for practitioners. Its pictures are repeated woodcut initial letter E framed by heavy strapwork, scrolled foliage and grotesque knotted ornament, with a cross-hatched interior of interlaced volutes; a designer could take from them a dense, symmetrical early-modern decorative frame for a drop cap or monogram.
