Titelpagina voor: B. Bekker, Der Volmaakten Vaste Spijse, 1674 1674

This is a title page made in 1674 for Balthasar Bekker’s book 'Der Volmaakten Vaste Spijse' by Hero Nauta. It is dominated by typography, arranged to create a sense of hierarchical order. The use of varied font sizes and styles guides the eye, emphasizing key phrases such as the book's title and the author's name. Below the title, the text elaborates on the book's content and theological focus. This linguistic structure creates a framework through which we can engage with the text. The page also contains a small emblem; its symmetry and ornate design serve as a visual pause, a moment of reflection amidst the density of the text. Consider this emblem not merely as decoration, but as a symbolic device, a visual metaphor supplementing the theological themes discussed in the book. The typography and emblem, together, create a unified structure where words and images support each other, inviting readers to engage with the theological content in a structured manner.
