Gentivm et familiarvm Romanarum stemmata
A 1559 Latin genealogical work by Richard Strein von Schwarzenau on Roman families and their stemmata, printed in Europe and likely meant for scholars and antiquarians. Its pictures are large decorated initial letters, an A framed by grotesque masks, winged figures and scrolling foliage beside columns of dense black type, offering a designer ready models for ornamental capitals and layouts that mix display lettering with text.
