Motets pour la chapelle du Roy, mis en musique, par Monsieur l'abbé Robert, maistre de la musique de ladite chapelle. Basse-continue pour les instruments.
A 1684 Paris printing by Pierre Robert, master of music for the French royal chapel, issued by Christophe Ballard as a continuo part book of motets for the king's chapel and its instrumentalists. The pictures are engraved pages of staff music, each opening with a large decorated historiated initial letter (E, C, D, N) beside psalm settings with Latin text and rows of black square-headed notes. A designer might take the ornate initials and the dense, rhythmic music-type layout as models for historical typographic display.
