Histoire du schisme des Grecs

Maimbourg, Louis, 1610-1686 · 1686 · À Paris : Chez S. Mambre-Cramoisy · 5 pictures

Histoire du schisme des Grecs is a 1686 Paris history of the Eastern Church schism by the Jesuit-trained historian Louis Maimbourg, printed by Mambre-Cramoisy for a learned readership. Its pictures are black-and-white engravings with a formal, emblematic manner: putti framing a sun, a winged figure above a seated Greek-robed woman, a council of bearded men around a central teacher, and two birds with entwined necks above a town, offering designers classical ornament and allegorical composition.
