Edict Dv Roy Svr La Pacification Des troubles de ce Royaume. Publié à Paris en Parlement, l'vnziesme iour d'Aoust,
A royal edict printed in Paris in 1570 by the printer Jean Dallier, issued by the French crown to pacify the religious troubles of the kingdom and published before Parliament. Its pages carry woodcut decoration: a flourished ornamental border with grotesque masks and scrolls, a historiated initial showing a dragon-like creature inside a crescent, and a small rose on a stem, suited to designers seeking Renaissance French strapwork, initials, and botanical block motifs.
