Histoire abregée de la vie et des ouvrages de Mr Arnauld
This is a 1697 French biographical account of the Jansenist theologian Antoine Arnauld and a related dispute involving the poet Jean de Santeul, printed in an unnamed place by an unknown printer and held by the University of Toronto. The pictures are small oval engraved portraits of clerics set within ornamental frames, with one floral tailpiece, suggesting useful models for framed portrait medallions, oval vignettes and baroque cartouche borders.
