[Rerum anglicarum scriptores veteres]
A 1684 Oxford scholarly edition, edited by William Fulman and Thomas Gale and printed at the Sheldonian Theatre, collecting early English chronicles for scholars and antiquarians. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters (A, S, L, N) with dense interlace, scrolling acanthus leaves and bead-like dots, useful for designers wanting historical display capitals with strong letterform structure.
