Commentarivs de praecipvis generibvs divinationvm, in quo a prophetiis autoritate divina traditis et a physicis conjecturis, discernuntur artes et imposturae diabolicae, atque observationes natae ex superstitione et cum hac conjunctae. Et monstrantur fontes et causae physicarum praedictionum. Diabolicae vero ac superstitiosae confutatae damnantur. Recens editus & auctus accessione multiplici / Avtore Casparo Pevcero
A Latin treatise on the kinds of divination by Caspar Peucer, printed by Johann Krafft in 1560 for university-trained theologians and physicians weighing prophecy against natural prediction and diabolical trickery. The single indexed image is a woodcut initial set into dense roman and italic type: a foliate letter framed in a ruled square, with visible worm damage, show-through and inking flaws that suit designers wanting period initials or letterpress texture.
