Chavigny, Jean Aimé de, 1524-1604, Wilbraham, George, former owner · 1594 · Paris. : Pour Gilles Robinot... · 5 pictures

A 1594 Paris edition of Jean Aimé de Chavigny's commentary on Nostradamus's prophecies, covering French civil wars and conflicts from 1534 onward, printed for Gilles Robinot and now held by the Boston Public Library. The pictures are sixteenth-century woodcut decorations: a large ornamental initial M with scrollwork and grotesque masks, a matching smaller M set beside body text, a strip of stylised floral and foliate border, and an oval emblem with putti, a central sun and a horseman in a landscape, all useful as source models for early modern ornament and emblem design.
