A critical history of the text of the New Testament : wherein is firmly establish'd the truth of those acts on which the foundation of Christian religion is laid
A 1689 London edition of Richard Simon's critical study of New Testament textual history, printed for the bookseller R. Taylor and aimed at scholars and clergy. The one picture is a copperplate bookplate of William Byrd of Westover in Virginia, with an engraved heraldic achievement, scrolling foliage and a Latin motto banner, a dense black-and-white ornament a designer could borrow for crest and label work.
