Histoire ecclésiastique.
Histoire ecclésiastique is an ecclesiastical history printed in Paris by Jean Mariette, with the text attributed to Claude-Pierre Goujet, for a learned readership of church history. Its pictures are engraved headpieces and tailpieces: a Hercules-themed cartouche with the motto Haec meta labor, a scrolled acanthus ornament, and a Roman colonnade scene with a figure lying prostrate on the floor, offering a designer dense classical ornament and architectural staging.
