Recueil des inscriptions chrétiennes de l'Athos
A 1904 Paris collection of Greek Christian inscriptions from Mount Athos, compiled by scholars Gabriel Millet, Louis Petit and Jeanne Fourier-Pargoire for specialists in Byzantine epigraphy. The pictures are facsimile drawings and photographs of inscribed stone and metal, with carved lettering in blocky capitals set in rectangles, arches and circles. A designer could take the bold, angular letterforms and the framed text panels as reference for monumental inscription layouts and seal-style emblems.
