Heures a lusaige de Romme : tout au long sans rien requerir auec plusieurs suffraiges et oraisons
A 1520 Paris printing of a Latin-French Book of Hours, the Heures a lusaige de Rome, issued by the Guillaume Godart press for lay devotional use. The page is a dense black-letter text block framed by a decorative woodcut border of knotwork, grotesques and small figures, with a lower panel of a standing figure and ornamental scrollwork. A designer could take the interlaced knotwork borders, the tight justified text columns and the compact framing of a single figure as models for historical ornament.
