Avreliae vrbis memorabilis ab Anglis obsidio, anno 1428, : et Ioannae Viraginis Lotharingiae res gestae.
A 1560 Paris edition, edited by Jean-Louis Micqueau and printed by Andreas Wechel, recounting the English siege of Orléans in 1428 and the deeds of Joan of Arc for a learned Latin readership. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a large decorated initial I, an ornamental Q with foliage, a grotesque face frieze, and a winged horse above a caduceus-like emblem, all in dense black line on cream paper, offering designers ready-made foliate capitals, border strips and emblematic devices.
