De Francicae linguae recta pronuntiatione [microforme]
A 1584 Geneva treatise by Théodore de Bèze on correct French pronunciation, printed by E. Vignon and aimed at readers of Latin and French. Its pages are dense black-letter-style roman type with italic passages, a historiated initial, a small ornamental woodcut headpiece, and a plain page layout with running heads and marginal notes. A designer might take from them the decorative capital letter, the compact justified text block, and the mix of italic and roman setting.
