La rhetorique [microforme]

Courcelles, Pierre de · 1557 · Paris : S. Nyvelle · 3 pictures

A 1557 rhetoric treatise, printed in Paris by S. Nyvelle and held by the University of Ottawa, written by Pierre de Courcelles as a school text on the art of persuasive speech. The three pictures are printer's devices: an open book with a large letter B and a letter N across the spread, and a royal privilege emblem showing a pelican in a laurel wreath with the words "avec privilege du roy" and a library stamp, which a designer could borrow for bookplate-style monograms and mock-up title pages.
