Bibliotheca Fayana, seu, Catalogus librorum bibliothecae ill. viri D. Car. Hieronymi de Cisternay Du Fay, Gallicanae cohortis praetorianorum militum centurionis : cum indice auctorum alphabetico
A 1725 Paris auction catalogue of the library of Charles-Jérôme de Cisternay Du Fay, printed by Gabriel Martin with an alphabetical author index, its headpieces and tailpieces drawn for a bibliophile readership. The two pictures are small ornamental printer's devices: one with a fleur-like central flourish, scrolled acanthus leaves and hanging flowers, the other a shallow basket of flowers framed by symmetrical C-scrolls and foliage. A designer could draw on their symmetrical scrollwork and compact cartouche-like framing for borders and dividers.
