Explication de l'oraison dominicale : composée des pensées et des paroles mêmes de S. Augustin, qu'on a extraites avec une très-exacte fidélité ; où l'on explique les secrets de l'humilité chrétienne, & toute la substance de la divine morale de Jesus-Christ

Augustine, Saint, Bishop of Hippo · 1688 · Paris : G. Desprez · 6 pictures

A 1688 French devotional commentary on the Lord's Prayer, compiled from the writings of Saint Augustine and published in Paris by G. Desprez. Its four woodcut head- and tailpieces show winged angels, a dove in light rays, foliage with a central face, and flowers with feathery fronds, all in a dense, crisp engraved style a designer could borrow for ornamental borders and dividers.
