A 1663 French treatise on palmistry, physiognomy, geomancy and numerology, printed in Paris by Guillaume de Luyne and held by a Paris university health library. The three pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a tailpiece, with a foliate C, a flower vase, and a historiated N with grotesque figures, which show dense, carved-looking linework a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and vignettes.
