Les Eloges des hommes scavans : tirez de l'Histoire de M. de Thou : avec des additions contenant l'abrégé de leur vie, le jugement & le catalogue de leurs ouvrages
A 1697 French biographical collection of learned men, compiled by Teissier from de Thou's history and published at Utrecht by F. Halma for scholarly readers. Its three engraved pieces are a framed allegorical vignette of a seated classical goddess with putti beside a landscape panel, a scene of a winged figure seated with books, globe and armillary-type instruments before a ship, and a flat ornamental strapwork band with foliage and a central mask; a designer could draw on the layered allegory, the compact vignette framing, and the dense scrolled border.
