Divers plaidoyez tovchant la cavse dv gvevx de Vernon : avec le plaidoyé de monsieur Bignon, advocat general : Et quelques autres plaidoyez, & errests sur differentes matières
A 1665 Paris legal anthology published by L. Billaine, collecting pleadings by the advocate general Jérôme Bignon and other court rulings, printed for lawyers and the legal profession. Its four decorative headpieces and tailpieces are woodcut floral ornaments: a symmetrical acanthus-and-flower panel with a lion mask, a strip with a fleur-de-lis cartouche between scrolled foliage, a flower-filled urn, and a fan of leaves over a bloom cluster. They suggest symmetrical, bilateral layouts and dense botanical filler for a designer working on vintage or classical borders.
