Dion historien grec, Des faictz & gestes insignes des Romains : redvictz par annalles et consulatz, commençant au consulat de Lucius Cotta & Lucius Torquatus ...
A 1542 Paris printing of Cassius Dio's Roman history, translated into French by Claude Deroziers and issued by the publishers Arnoul and Charles les Angeliers for French readers. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials and framed title-page borders, with small scenes of figures set inside ornate frames. A designer could draw on the dense stippled initial letters and the dense scrollwork and grotesque frame ornament of the Renaissance woodcut style.
