Replique de Iean Daille aux deux livres que Messieurs Adam et Cottiby ont publiez contre luy.

Daillé, Jean · 1669 · Genève : Iean Antoine & Samuel de Tournes · 12 pictures

A 1669 French theological reply by the Calvinist minister Jean Daillé to two Catholic writers, printed at Geneva by Jean Antoine and Samuel de Tournes for a learned Protestant readership. The pictures are decorative printers' ornaments: large historiated initial letters M and D framed in dense foliage and scrollwork, with a cherub and fruit swag headpiece, all cut in woodblock style. A designer could draw on their interlace borders, acanthus curls and stippled grounds for period-style lettering and frames.
