Les CL pseaumes de David
A 1603 Paris printing by Mamert Patisson of Philippe Desportes's French verse translation of the Psalms, a religious poetry book for devotional readers. Its pictures are small woodcut headpieces and ornaments: a tree with a scroll bearing a Latin motto beside a robed figure, and symmetrical scrolled cartouches, useful to a designer for compact period decorative borders and tailpieces.
