A 1605 Paris printed treatise by Jérôme Bignon on how popes are elected, with a plan of the conclave, a list of cardinals, and accounts of the election of Leo XI and Paul V, written in French for a learned readership. The single picture is a decorated initial letter, a foliate woodcut capital with a grotesque creature curling through scrolling acanthus leaves beside the opening lines of text. A designer could take from it the dense interlace of foliage and the way a figure is folded into a letter's frame.
