Les ornements du Moyen Age
Les ornements du Moyen Age is a set of engraved plates of medieval ornament, edited by Carl Alexander von Heideloff and Carl Görgel and published in 1838, held by Heidelberg University Library. The plates show foliage scrolls, rosettes, pulpit and capital carvings laid out as numbered specimens on bare sheets. A designer could draw on the dense interlaced vine patterns, carved capitals and diamond-shaped panels as ready-made motifs for borders, panels and architectural decoration.
