A 1533 French church history printed in Lyon by Romain Morin, written by Jean Lemaire de Belges, that surveys the councils of the Catholic Church and the schisms that divided it, aimed at readers of French ecclesiastical history. Its woodcut scenes show enthroned popes and kings in arched interiors with seated councillors and gesturing figures, giving designers a model for formal Renaissance courtroom staging and tightly ruled text-and-picture layouts.
