L'Hystoire des devx nobles et tres vaillans chevaliers nommez Milles et Amys, : Lesquels en leur viuant furent plains de grandes proësses. Contenant plusieurs et diuerses matieres, comme vous pourrez veoir cy apres
This French chapbook of medieval romance was printed by Nicolas Oudot in Troyes in 1611, a cheap popular edition of the tale of the knights Milles and Amys for ordinary readers. Its pictures are small decorative printed initials, with the first letters built from scrolling foliage, grotesque figures, and dotted white-on-black patterning that a designer could adapt for display lettering, borders, or historical headers.
