Flodoardi presbyteri ecclesiae Remensis canonici Historiarum eiusdem ecclesiae libri IV
A Latin church history of the Reims archdiocese by the canon Flodoard, edited by Jacques Sirmond and printed in Paris in 1611 for a learned clerical readership. Its pictures are woodcut historiated initials, the large letters E, B, D and C, with grotesque figures, foliage and animals curling through their bowls and stems, which a designer could draw on for decorative capitals and border ornament.
