BY THE AUTHOR

MARCUS ANTONIUS de Dominis,

Archbishop of Spalato.

A rectangular woodcut printer's mark features a circular central emblem. Inside the circle is a landscape depicting a sea with waves, a rocky coast, and a fortified city atop a hill on the left. A radiant sun with a human face shines from the top center. The circular border contains the Latin motto "EXCELSVS DOMINVS & HVMILIA RESPICIT" The Lord is high, yet he has respect unto the lowly. The emblem is surrounded by elaborate decorative scrollwork and architectural motifs, flanked by two figures.
