L'histoire de la naissance, progrez, et decadence de l'heresie de ce siecle. Divisee en hvit livres
A 1611 French religious history of the Protestant Reformation by Florimond de Rémond, printed in Cambrai by Jean de La Rivière for a Catholic readership interested in church controversy. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initials, the large letters L and C framed in dense scrollwork with stylised leaves, flourishes and a small heraldic-looking device, giving a designer examples of compact historical ornament for capitals and borders.
