La magie naturelle divisée en quatre livres,...et nouvellement l'introduction à la belle magie par Lazare Meysonnier...

Porta, Giambattista della · 1678 · A Lyon, chez André Olier · 1 picture

A 1678 French edition of Giambattista della Porta's natural magic treatise, printed at Lyon by André Olier and aimed at readers of medical and natural philosophy in French. The single picture is a small woodcut ornament: a seated central figure with a fan-shaped headdress framed by scrolling volutes, leaves and a pedestal base. A designer could take its symmetrical, cartouche-like structure as a model for a central emblem or a frame ornament.
