Responce faicte par vn religieux des Feullars, à la lettre que son pere luy auoit escrit, pour le retirer de religion.

1588 · [n.p.], 1588 · 1 picture

A 1588 French polemical letter, a monk's reply to his father urging him to leave the religious life, printed by an unnamed publisher and preserved by the Newberry Library. The single picture is a decorative woodcut initial M, its letter built from twisting foliage, a winged face at the top and small birds perched at the base, offering a designer a dense ornamental capital for display lettering or period-style headers.
