Le grand dictionnaire des rimes francaises [microforme]
A French rhyming dictionary printed in Geneva in 1623 by M. Berjon, attributed to Odet de La Noue, seigneur de Téligny, and aimed at poets and writers of French verse. The pictures are dense letterpress pages of alphabetised rhyme word lists in two columns with bold headword labels, plus one ornamental strapwork-and-scroll headpiece; a designer might take the compact hierarchy of bold entries over tightly set columns as a model for typographic order.
