Histoire de la philosophie hermétique : accompagnée d'un catalogue raisonné des écrivains de cette science ...
A French treatise on hermetic philosophy, published in 1744 by Nyon père, with a catalogue of writers on the subject, likely compiled for scholars and collectors of esoteric learning. Its pictures are small black-line woodcut ornaments: scrolled cartouches, acanthus and shell motifs, vases, and a pair of seals with inscriptions, which a designer might use for ornamental borders, headers, and period decorative panels.
