Description d'un diptyque qui renferme un missel de La fête des fous, lequel est conservé dans la bibliothèque de Sens : avec une notice de ce missel

Millin, A. L. (Aubin Louis), 1759-1818, Bibliothèque municipale de Sens · 1806 · Paris : De l'Imprimerie impériale · 2 pictures

A scholarly antiquarian monograph published in Paris in 1806 by Aubin Louis Millin, describing a diptych and a Feast of Fools missal held by the Sens municipal library, printed for learned collectors and antiquaries. Its two plates show a heraldic achievement with crown, mantling and a shield bearing an eagle, and a long framed panel of classical figures in a border of zigzag and key patterns, which suggest engraved heraldry and Greek-style ornamental banding for a designer.
