In linguam gallicam Isagôge, una cum eiusdem Grammatica latino-gallica ex hebraeis, graecis, & latinis authoribus [microform]

Dubois, Jacques, 1478-1555 · 1531 · Paris : R. Estienne · 2 pictures

A 1531 Latin-French grammar printed in Paris by Robert Estienne, produced by the scholar Jacques Dubois for students learning French through Latin. The pictures are close scans of dense roman type with a crowned printer's device and a large decorated initial D set in a foliate woodcut frame, showing how early printers mixed text blocks with ornament. A designer might take the interlocking rhythm of the floral initial against plain columns of type as a model for historical page layout.
