Instruction et doctrine a se bien confesser, & prier Dieu pour ses pechez : extraict des sainctes escritures ...
A French devotional manual on confession and prayer, written by François Martial Masurier and printed in Paris by G. Guillard in 1565, drawn from scripture for lay readers. The three pictures are woodcut initial letters, two decorative capitals O and C with interlaced foliage and flowers inside ornamental borders, and a framed oval emblem with a sun above clouds, a sprouting plant, and the motto text VERITATIS NE DECLI NES. The capitals offer ready models for ornamental lettering, and the emblem shows how Renaissance printers combined motto banners with landscape vignettes.
