Les oeuvres de Ciceron de la traduction de Monsieur Du Ryer

Cicero, Marcus Tullius, Du Ryer, Pierre, d. 1658, Adams, John, 1735-1826, former owner. MB (BRL), John Adams Library (Boston Public Library) MB (BRL) · 1670 · A Paris : Au Palais, par la compagnie des libraires associez au privilege, avec privilege du Roy · 9 pictures

A 1670 Paris printing of Cicero's works in Pierre Du Ryer's French translation, published by a Palais booksellers' association under royal privilege and held by the Boston Public Library, with a former owner note for John Adams. The pictures are small printed ornaments: a foliate strip, two leafy woodcut initial letters with a decorative E, and a flower-filled urn, all in a dense black-line woodcut style a designer could borrow for borders, initials, and vignettes.
