A 1575 Latin legal-historical treatise on the early kingdom of France, answering François Hotman, printed in Paris by Frédéric Morel, the king's printer, for scholars and lawyers. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials and decorative letter blocks, each a capital framed by foliage and a flowering urn or knotwork, repeated across the book; a designer could take from them a compact model for ornamental initials and framed monogram borders.
