Catechisme et sommaire de la religion chrestinne : fait par l'ordonnance et decret du S. Concile de Trente, qui commande à tous Curez de l'enseigner au peuple
This is a 1583 French-language catechism of the Catholic Church, printed in Bordeaux by S. Millanges and produced for parish priests to teach the faithful after the Council of Trent. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initials, a letter T with interlaced foliage, a C with a fleur-de-lis medallion, an M framed by scrolling acanthus and a bird, and an A with leafy scrolls, giving a designer period ornamental letterforms built from vine, leaf and flower motifs.
