Dictionaire de la langue huronne necessaire a cevx qui n'ont l'intelligence d'icelle
A 1632 Paris dictionary by Gabriel Sagard, published by Denys Moreau, for French speakers learning the Huron (Wyandot) language of North America. Its pictures are decorative printers' ornaments: a woodcut initial letter C set in foliage, a symmetrical cartouche with an oval medallion and scrolls, and two horizontal strips of acanthus-like leafy scrollwork. A designer could take from them the look of early modern French border and headpiece ornament, with its dense interlaced leaves and symmetrical framing.
