La morosophie de Guillaume de la Perriere, Tolosain, Contenant Cent Emblemes moraux, illustrez de Cent Tetrastiques Latins, reduitz en autant de Quatrains Françoys
Guillaume de La Perrière's 1553 emblem book, printed at Lyon by Macé Bonhomme, offers moral emblems with Latin tetrastichs and French quatrains for readers of French vernacular verse. The woodcut scenes sit in ornate framed borders with numbered plates, showing combat, a scorpion, and a tree with figures, which a designer might take as models for framed narrative panels and decorative border systems.
