Jugements astronomiques sur les nativités,
A French astrological and medical treatise printed in Lyon in 1625 by Pierre Rigaud, written by Auger Ferrier and aimed at readers interested in judging births by the stars. The pictures are plain letterpress pages: a tabular chart of planetary hours and durations, a dense block of Gothic-style text opening with a decorated initial, and a black filigree ornament with scrolling leaves and fleurs, which a designer could borrow for a hand-cut border or a decorative divider.
