L'éloquence de la chaire, et du barreau, selon les principes les plus solides de la rhétorique sacrée & profane [microforme]

Bretteville, Étienne Dubois, abbé de, 1650-1688 · 1689 · Paris : Denys Thierry · 3 pictures

A French rhetoric treatise on preaching and pleading, written by the abbé de Bretteville and printed in Paris in 1689 by Denys Thierry for clergy and lawyers learning persuasive speech. Its pictures are small black printer's flower ornaments, a vase of stylised blooms with bold woodcut strokes and a plain pedestal, which a designer could borrow as a simple botanical border or spot motif.
