Épitaphier du vieux Paris : recueil général des inscriptions funéraires des églises, couvents, collèges, hospices, cimetières et charniers, depuis le moyen âge jusqu'à la fin du XVIIIe siècle
Émile Raunié compiled this 1890 Paris catalogue of funerary inscriptions from churches, convents, colleges, hospices and cemeteries, spanning the Middle Ages to the late eighteenth century, printed by the Imprimerie nationale. The engraved plates show tomb monuments and epitaph tablets: a wall monument with a bust in an oval frame, an arched tomb niche under a coat of arms, a standing effigy of a churchman with crozier, and a tablet with a Pietà and kneeling mourners. Designers can draw on their architectural framing, heraldic cartouches, and carved ornament.
