Liber de differentia vulgarium linguarum, & gallici sermonis varietate [microform]

Bouelles, Charles de, ca. 1470-ca 1553 · 1533 · Paris : R. Estienne · 2 pictures

A 1533 Paris book by Charles de Bouelles, printed by R. Estienne, on the differences among vernacular languages and the French tongue, preserved on microfilm. Its two pictures are a large printed numeral 533 used as a shelf or catalogue marker and a small title-page device of a tree bearing the motto NOLI ALTUM SAPERE beside a library stamp. A designer might take from them a bold, heavy numeral style and a compact emblematic tree woodcut suited to vintage print marks.
