Repliqve aux deux livres que Messieurs Adam et Cottiby ont publiez contre luy
A 1662 polemical treatise in French by the Genevan Calvinist minister Jean Daillé, printed in Geneva by Jean Antoine and Samuel de Tournes as a reply to two Catholic opponents, Adam and Cottiby, and aimed at a learned Protestant readership. Its pictures are decorative printers' headpieces and tailpieces: horizontal bands of scrolling acanthus, cherub heads with wings, fruit and flower swags, and grotesque figures, most with small page numbers or ornamental ends. A designer could draw on their dense, symmetrical scroll borders and the mix of foliage, putti and swags for seventeenth-century border ornament.
