Saint-Glas, Pierre de, d. 1699, Racan, Honorat de Bueil, seigneur de, 1589-1670, Guéret, Gabriel, 1641-1688, Maugars, André, 17th cent. Discours de la musique d'Italie et des opéras · 1672 · Paris, Chez la veuve C. Thibovst, et P. Esclassan · 1 picture

A 1672 Paris anthology of historical, moral and eloquent treatises by several seventeenth-century French writers, printed by the widow C. Thibovst and P. Esclassan for a learned reading public. The only picture is a letterpress title-page fragment in capitals and italic roman, naming the Marquis du Pont S. Pierre with his titles, so a designer might borrow its dense, classical mix of small capitals, italics and centred lines as a model for period typography.
