L'enterrement du Dictionnaire de l'Académie [microforme] : ouvrage contenant la refutation de la Réponse de M. de M. Et deux cents quinze remarques critiques, tant sur l'Épitre & la Préface, que sur les trois premières lettres du Dictionnaire, A, B, C

1697 · [S.l. : s.n.] · 2 pictures

A polemical pamphlet of 1697, published anonymously with no known place of printing, attacking the Académie française and its dictionary, and aimed at readers of the period who followed the quarrel over the dictionary. The frontispiece shows a dark, crowded funeral scene under a scrolled cartouche bearing the title, while the second picture is a plain typeset page with a printed seal and an ornamental fleuron, offering a designer a model for mixing a heavy engraved image with dense, centred serif type and small decorative marks.
