Sibrandi Tetardi Siccama Bolsverdiani Frisii, De Judicio Centumvirali Libri II: Cum Indice Rervm Necessario
A Latin legal treatise by Sibrandus Siccama, published in 1725 and drawn from the Heidelberg University Library's holdings, written for scholars of Roman law and the centumviral court. The single picture is a decorative headpiece: a winged figure seated within an oval cartouche, flanked by symmetrical sheaves of feathery fronds and scrolled volutes. A designer could take from it a model for a symmetrical, mirrored ornament built around a central medallion, a classic early eighteenth-century printer's device.
