Reglement General Povr Remedier Avx Desordres aduenuz à l'occa[s]ion des troubles pre[s]ens, attendant l'a[ss]emblee generale des E[s]tats du Royaume.
This 1589 French royal decree, a general regulation printed in Paris under the Parlement de Paris and its printers Nicolas Nivelle and Rolin Thierry, was issued to restore order during the civil troubles of the League era and was addressed to the Parlement, the Chambres des Comptes and the Cour des Aides. The first picture is a dense black-letter text page opening with a large decorated initial C and a row of small ornamental rules, and the second is a woodcut headpiece of foliage, ribbons and pendant fruit, useful to a designer for compact hierarchical ornament and historic typographic framing.
