La comparaison de la langue et de la poësie françoise [microforme]

Desmarets de Saint Sorlin, Jean, 1595-1676, Desmarets de Saint Sorlin, Jean, 1595-1676. Amours de Protée et de Physis · 1670 · Paris : T. Jolly · 4 pictures

A 1670 Paris printing by Jean Desmarets de Saint-Sorlin, issued by the publisher T. Jolly, that sets French verse and literary comparison in plain, dense typeset pages for a learned readership. The pictures are text pages with a decorated initial letter and a tailpiece ornament, so a designer might borrow the heavy black initial capital, the centred title layout with rules, and the printed flourish as period typographic models.
