Pseaumes de David

1562 · A Paris : Par Adrian le Roy, & Robert Ballard · 2 pictures

Pseaumes de David is a 1562 Paris psalter printed by Adrian le Roy and Robert Ballard, a French-language collection of psalms set to music for Huguenot congregational singing. The pictures show a square-note staff with a large decorated initial and a printed ornamental border of foliage and a central grotesque mask, which a designer might take as a model for historic music typography and dense woodcut-style border ornament.
