Terentius,
A 1560 Venetian edition of Terence's comedies, printed by Paulus Manutius in Venice for a scholarly readership of Latin students. The three pictures are woodcut historiated initials, small framed letters with figures inside them: a crescent moon enclosing a seated man with a trident-like staff appears twice, and a letter D holds a robed figure among hatched waves. A designer might take from them the compact framed-initial format, with the figure fitted tightly into the letter's curve and bold hatched backgrounds.
