Edict du Roy, svr les articles accordez a Monsievr le Duc de Mercœur, pour sa reduction, & de la ville de Nantes, & autres de la Bretagne, sous l'obeïssance de sa Majesté.
A royal edict printed in Paris in 1598 by Mamert Patisson, issued by the French crown to set terms for the Duke of Mercœur's submission and for Nantes and other Breton towns returning to royal obedience. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces: one shows a tree with a figure beside it and a scroll bearing a Latin motto, the other a symmetrical ornament of scrolls, foliage and winged creatures at the ends, useful for border and header ideas in period print styling.
