Histoire ecclésiastique.
Histoire ecclesiastique is an ecclesiastical history printed in Paris by Jean Mariette, with the imprint dated 1738 and the author Claude-Pierre Goujet, 1697-1767, writing for a learned readership. The two pictures are decorative woodcut headpieces: one an ornate scrollwork ornament with interlaced curls and acanthus leaves, the other a framed scene of a study with bookshelves, a desk, and a royal crown above a shield of fleurs-de-lis, useful to designers studying early eighteenth-century French book ornament.
