A 1638 Paris printed book of polyphonic Latin mass music by Nicolas Formé, published by Pierre Ballard and dedicated to the kings Henri and Louis of France; its bassus part book is for singers. Each page opens with a large decorated woodcut initial letter beside black-note staves with Latin text set under the notes, and the decoration is ornate scrollwork with foliage and small figures that a designer could borrow for capital letters and border ornament.
