Histoire de l'Edit de Nantes; contenant les choses les plus remarquables qui se sont passées en France avant & après sa publication, à l'occasion de la diversité des religions ... jusques à l'edit de revocation en octobre 1685. Avec ce qui a suivi ce nouvel edit jusques à present
A 1693 history of the Edict of Nantes by the Huguenot minister Elie Benoist, printed in Delft by A. Beman, written for French Protestant readers and covering the religious conflicts in France up to the 1685 revocation. The single picture is a large decorative initial letter, an ornamental capital S built from scrolling acanthus-like foliage, small flowers and curling tendrils, all rendered in fine black line on a cream page. A designer could take from it a model for dense, symmetrical letterform ornament suited to historical typography and monogram work.
