The Latin Works of Giordano Bruno

A full-page marbled paper pattern, typical of 18th or 19th-century book endpapers. The design is a nonpareil or comb pattern. It features dense, vertical columns of small, repeating crescent or U shaped motifs. The primary color is a deep madder red. The marbled accents appear in white, navy blue, and occasional spots of yellow. The overall effect is a highly textured, rhythmic decorative surface. Technical terms for this style include marbled paper, nonpareil pattern, bookbinding, and endpaper.

A white rectangular bookplate label is pasted onto a decorative marbled endpaper featuring a peacock or combed pattern in shades of red, blue, cream, and yellow. At the top of the label is the circular seal of the University of California. The seal depicts an open book with a sunburst behind it and a banner reading "LET THERE BE LIGHT". The border of the seal is inscribed "SEAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA · 1868 ·".

This poem was divided into its own distinct parts: first it suggested books of sections, then chapters of books, and shortly thereafter portions of chapters. Meanwhile, the universal and general subject matter brought forth 15 reasoned original: ratiocinativos discourses, and these produ...
