Épitaphier du vieux Paris : recueil général des inscriptions funéraires des églises, couvents, collèges, hospices, cimetières et charniers, depuis le moyen âge jusqu'à la fin du XVIIIe siècle

Raunié, Emile, 1854-1911 · 1890 · Paris : Impr. nationale · 26 pictures

Épitaphier du vieux Paris is a late nineteenth-century French catalogue of medieval and early modern funerary inscriptions from Paris churches, convents and cemeteries, compiled by Emile Raunié and printed in Paris in 1890 for antiquarians and historians. Its plates copy tomb effigies in outline engraving: standing figures in Gothic canopies framed by inscription borders, with clean line work a designer could adapt for historical or monumental motifs.
