Mélanges d'archéologie, d'histoire et de littérature: Nouveaux mélanges ... sur le moyen âge : curiosités mysterieuses ; 1
This is a French medieval archaeology and literature miscellany by Charles Cahier and Arthur Martin, published in 1874 and drawn from a Heidelberg University Library copy. Its plates show carved and engraved decorative motifs from medieval works, including fantastic beasts, griffins, and figures in friezes and reliefs. A designer could draw on these for heraldic-style animal borders, symmetrical frieze compositions, and Romanesque ornamental panels.
