Latin over LatinAn older Latin manuscript leaf made a neat cover for a 16th century Latin book of Reformed theology by Heinrich Bullinger (1504-1575). The Latin of the manuscript is very abbreviated–economical but definitely made for an experienced reader.And if that’s not enough, a former owner or reader has embellished the rear endpapers with a delightful design. (Perhaps someone’s initials?)Bullinger, Heinrich. Catechesis pro adultioribus scripta… Tiguri : Apud Frosch., 1563. -- source link
