De l'inspiration des Livres Sacrés : avec une Réponse au livre intitulé, Defense des sentimens de quelques theologiens de Hollande sur l'histoire critique du Vieux Testament
A 1687 theological treatise by the French priest Richard Simon, printed at Rotterdam by R. Leers, arguing over the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures and answering critics from Holland, aimed at scholars and clergy. Both pictures are the same small printed emblem: a seated female figure with a book stack, a rising sun over a banner reading PRESTARE FIDEM-style lettering, a ruined column, and a fronded cartouche with an interlaced monogram below, a compact device a designer could reuse for a classical or allegorical seal.
