Conference avec M. Claude, ministre de Charenton, sur la matiere de l'Eglise

Bossuet, Jacques Bénigne, 1627-1704, Claude, Jean, 1619-1687 · 1682 · Paris, S. Mabre-Cramoisy · 4 pictures

A 1682 Paris theological conference record by Bossuet and Jean Claude, printed by S. Mabre-Cramoisy, on the nature of the Church, aimed at Catholic and Huguenot readers. The four pictures are small printer's ornaments: a scrolled cartouche, a flowering urn, an emblem medallion of a swan and a city, and a seated figure holding a cross beside the words 'Sanct Evang'. They suggest how baroque ornament, emblem roundels, and religious frontispiece vignettes can be reused in period-style layouts.
