This is a 1544 French printed ordinance issued at Béziers by Antoine de Lettes-Desprez, lieutenant for the king in Languedoc, setting rules for soldiers, printed in Lyon by Guyon Boudeville. The pictures are small woodcut and tooled-leather views: a rear cover with a gilt wreathed armorial device, a spine, a heraldic woodcut of three fleurs-de-lis under a crown, and an ornate initial letter with dense foliate scrollwork, useful for heraldic or decorative initial design.
