A 1672 Paris guide to Rome's churches, written by Nicolas de Bralion for French readers and travellers, describing the seven principal churches and others nearby. Its pictures are decorative historiated and foliate initials printed from woodcut blocks, with dense acanthus scrolls, fruit clusters and lattice framing, which a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and border motifs.
