Le Parterre de la rhetorique françoise [microforme] : emaillé de toutes les plus belles fleurs d'éloquence qui se rencontrent dans les oeuvres des orateurs tant anciens que modernes

1659 · Lyon : Cl. La Rivière · 6 pictures

A French rhetoric manual printed in Lyon in 1659 by Claude La Rivière, a guide to eloquence drawn from ancient and modern orators for students of the French language. Its pictures are small black woodcut-style ornaments: a large decorated initial I flanked by foliage and grotesque figures, a symmetrical mask-like device, and a repeating fleur-de-lis border strip, all set beside blurred printed text that a designer could borrow for borders and capitals.
