Projet et fragmens d'un dictionnaire critique [microforme]

Bayle, Pierre, 1647-1706 · 1692 · Rotterdam : Chez Reinier Leers · 4 pictures

A 1692 Rotterdam printing by Pierre Bayle, a critical dictionary project and fragments aimed at scholarly readers of biography and history, held by the University of Ottawa and filmed as microform. Its pictures are a dense black-and-white ornamental cartouche with a seated figure and scrolling foliage, printed text columns with decorative initials, and bold stencil-like numerals and letters that are scan or microfilm marks rather than book art, though the cartouche and dense typeset columns offer a designer ideas about baroque framing and early modern page layout.
