Repertorium librorum trium Ioannis Boemi de omnium gentium ritibus. Item index rerum scitu digniorum in eosdem

unknown, Boemus, Joannes, approximately 1485-1535. Omnium gentium mores leges et ritus. 1520 · 1520 · [Augustæ Vindelicorum : Excusa in officina Sigismundi Grim[m] medici, ac Marci Vuirsung.] · 1 picture

A 1520 printed book from Augsburg, produced in the workshop of Sigismund Grim and Marx Wirsung, and issued as a reference guide to the customs and rites of the peoples of the world by the humanist Johannes Boemus. The title page is framed by a dense woodcut border of scrollwork, foliage, and figures, with a printed title block and the date set in large capitals below. A designer might take from it the density and rhythm of Renaissance woodcut framing for ornamental borders and classical title-page layouts.
