La Rhétorique d'Aristote
A 1691 French translation of Aristotle's Rhetoric, published in Lyon by A. and H. Molin, with the translation credited to François Cassandre, intended for students and readers of classical rhetoric. The pictures are four woodcut decorative initial letters, P, L, L and I, each framed by stylised foliage and acanthus-like leaves, showing dense black linework on a plain ground that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals or botanical border motifs.
