Herodianus. Omnibus Modis Summi Historici. 1493.


The exact date of this book is uncertain. The hand-lettered inscription on the title page reads 1493 (normally reliable for Belmont Abbey books), but the actual date may be as late as 1535. The edition displays nice examples of historiated initials, as shown below, where the large capitals in block indentations include small scenes illustrating aspects of the text.
