Les essais de maistre Jean Pagez...sur les miracles de la création du monde et sur les plus merveilleux effects de la nature
This 1631 French book, Les essais by Jean Pagez, was printed in Paris by Nicolas Rousset for readers interested in medicine and natural philosophy. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initials, some foliate with leafy scrolls and others with a lion or animal figure inside an ornate oval frame, offering designers models for historical capitals, borders and letter-based ornament.
