Bassus. Septieme livre de pseaumes de David. Mis en musique a quatre parties en forme de motetz. Par Claude Goudimel
This is a 1566 Paris part-book of Claude Goudimel's four-voice settings of the Psalms of David, printed by Adrian Le Roy and Robert Ballard for singers and choirs. Its pictures are woodcut and engraved ornaments: a decorative initial with foliage, a bass-part title page framed by strapwork and putti, a cartouche with a mask and swags, and a classical scene of seated figures on a rocky mound, which a designer might draw on for Renaissance borders and frames.
