Garasse, François, 1584-1631 · 1622 · Paris, Sebastien Chappelet · 135 pictures

A 1622 Paris polemic by Jesuit François Garasse, printed by Sebastien Chappelet, attacking the writings of Étienne Pasquier and defending the French kings; it is a dense text book with no visible plates. The four pictures are identical-style decorative woodcut initial letters, each an ornate capital D framed by stylised leaves, tulips and a small rosette, useful to a designer seeking historic letter ornament.

Pasquier, Etienne, 1529-1615
