Snorre Sturlessøns Norske kongers chronica

Snorri Sturluson, 1179?-1241, Worm, Ole, 1588-1654, ed, Peder Claussøn, 1545-1614, tr · 1633 · Prentet i Kiøbenhafn : Ved Melchior Martzan paa Joachim Moltken bogførers bekostning · 25 pictures

A 1633 Danish printing of Snorri Sturluson's history of Norwegian kings, edited by Ole Worm and translated by Peder Claussøn, printed in Copenhagen for a Danish book dealer. The four pictures are decorative initial letters: two bold black-letter R capitals with curled scrollwork, and two ornate pen-and-ink initials with interlaced loops and flourishes, useful for a designer seeking historical display letterforms and border-like ornament.
