Troisième requeste du Théologal de Séez [Jean Le Noir]... contre... l'Evesque de Séez [François Rouxel de Médavy] [1670]

1670 · 7 pictures

A 1670 French legal petition (factum) by the theologian Jean Le Noir against the Bishop of Séez, François Rouxel de Médavy, printed for the courts and held by the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. Its pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: a fleshy heraldic tail-piece with two lions flanking a shield of fleurs-de-lis, and a decorated initial D and C with foliage and grotesque figures. A designer could draw on these dense, hand-cut seventeenth-century borders and initials for historical lettering and frames.
