Edict du roy, pour la pacification des troubles de son royaume, donné à Blois au mois de May 1616, et verifié en Parlement le 13. juin audit an.
A royal edict printed in Paris in 1644 by A. Estiene, issued by the French crown at Blois in 1616 and registered by Parliament, set in plain text and aimed at legal and administrative readers. Its three decorative pieces are letterpress woodcut ornaments: a foliate strapwork frieze with fleur-de-lis shield, a flowered woodcut initial, and an armorial cartouche with a crown, fleurs-de-lis and a wreath, which a designer could draw on for heraldic or border motifs.
