The Sermons of M. Iohn Calvin upon the fifth booke of Moses called Deuteronomie : faithfully gathered word for word as preached them in open pulpit ; together with a preface of the ministers of the Church of Geneva ...
A 1583 London sermon collection by Jean Calvin on Deuteronomy, printed by Henry Middleton for Thomas Woodcocke and aimed at English Puritan readers. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials: a robed saint with a halo and a book beside a letter I and leafy scrollwork, and a letter W with a grotesque face and foliage. A designer could draw on their compact framed letter shapes, dotted borders and vine-and-tendril ornament for display type.
