The woorke of the excellent philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca concerning benefyting : that is too say the dooing, receyuing, and requyting of good turnes
A 1578 London printing of Seneca's moral treatise on giving and receiving favours, translated from Latin by Arthur Golding and printed by John Kingston for bookseller John Day, aimed at English readers interested in ethics and charity. Its pages are dense black-letter text set in two columns, each opening with a large decorated woodcut initial letter in a foliate, interlaced style that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and headers.
