Neuf livres de la dignité et de l'accroissement des sciences, composez par François Bacon,...et traduits de latin en francois par le sieur de Golefer...
A French translation of Francis Bacon's treatise on the advancement of learning, published in Paris in 1632 by Jacques Dugast and rendered from Latin by the sieur de Golefer for a learned readership. The pictures are dense letterpress pages with a large decorated initial, closely set italic and roman type, and one small woodcut of a figure beneath a tree with a crescent-shaped band, showing how early printed text blocks and ornamental capitals can be used for layout reference.
