A 1636 French edition published in Paris by Pierre Billaine, translating Francisco de Quevedo's satirical visions with a commentary by the Sieur de la Geneste, aimed at a general reading public of the period. Its four decorative initials are woodcut letters built from interlaced foliage, flowers, scrolls and a bearded face, with some letters framed by strapwork and others set against dense leafy ground that a designer could adapt for ornamental capitals.
