Q. Horacio Flacco ... Sus obras con la declaracion magistral en lengua castellana

Horace · 1599 · Granada : S. de Mena, a costa de I. Diez mercader de libros · 14 pictures

A 1599 Spanish-language edition of Horace's collected works, printed in Granada by S. de Mena at the expense of the bookseller I. Diez, with printers' ornaments rather than narrative pictures. The four images are repeated woodcut headpieces and a small ornamental device, showing dense scrolling acanthus foliage with grotesque faces in a rectangular frame, and a symmetrical arabesque cartouche below. A designer could draw on these for border strips, scrolled frames, and Renaissance-style decorative panels.
