Edict dv Roy, contenant la grace et pardon pour ceux quipar ce deuant ont mal senty de la foy.
This is a 1560 Paris edict printed for the French crown by the printers Vincent Sertenas and Jean Dallier, issued to pardon subjects who had strayed from the Catholic faith during the Huguenot unrest. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcuts: a royal shield of three fleurs-de-lis ringed by a knotted garland and crown, and an ornamental initial with foliage, scrolls and a bird, useful to designers seeking heraldic emblems and historic decorative capitals.
