Deux livres de Proclus, du mouvement, traduictz et commentés par Pierre Forcadel de Beziès...

Proclus (0412-0485) · 1565 · Périer, Ch. · 3 pictures

A 1565 French edition of Proclus's two books on motion, translated and annotated by Pierre Forcadel de Beziès and printed by Ch. Périer, a scholarly text for learned readers rather than a picture book. Its three pictures are a printer's ornament with fleurs-de-lis in a cartouche, a woodcut of a winged rider on a rearing horse above a rocky base, and a page of italic-and-roman text with a marginal numeral, giving a designer Renaissance decorative motifs and dense early typography to draw on.
