Edict du Roy sur la pacification des troubles, contenant confirmation, ampliation, & declaration, tant des precedents Edicts sur ledit aict, mesmes en l'an 1577, que des Articles arrestez en la Conference de Nerac ...
A 1581 Paris royal edict printed in French by Fédéric Morel, recording terms of a religious pacification after the Nérac conference and aimed at officials and subjects of France. The pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: a grotesque strapwork tailpiece with lion masks, a historiated initial A with leafy motifs, a shield of three fleurs-de-lis under a crown, and a cherub-topped hexagonal fountain. A designer could draw on these as period border, initial and tailpiece vocabulary.
