Terentius
Terence's Terentius was printed in Venice in 1521 at the Aldine press by Aldo and Andrea Asola, a scholarly edition of Roman comedy for students and classical readers. The first picture is a printed title-page device of a crown over a wreath, with a helmet, a shell and a small bird below, while the second is a hand-stamped red-brown flower motif on a cream page, shown as a sharp, irregular pattern of blots and dots that a designer might borrow for rough botanical texture or stamped ornament.
