Seconde Responce De Iacqves Bon-Homme, Paysan de Beauuoisis : A Son Compere le Crocheteu

Bonhomme, Jacques · 1614 · A Paris : Ioutte la coppie imprimee, par Iean Brunet · 1 picture

A 1614 French pamphlet, the second reply by Jacques Bonhomme, a peasant of Beauvaisis, to his fellow Crocheteu, printed in Paris by Jean Brunet for a general readership and concerned with nobility. The single picture is a woodcut title border with a cartouche reading MEA IN MANV DEI SORS, flanked by two female figures and cherubs, with a crown hovering over a sea scene and a pair of hands reaching from clouds, a dense emblematic device a designer could borrow for framing, cartouche or heraldic-style ornament.
