Histoire ecclésiastique.
Histoire ecclésiastique is an ecclesiastical history by Claude-Pierre Goujet, printed in Paris by Jean Mariette in the 1730s for a learned readership of church history. Its two plates show a preacher gesturing before a crowd of listeners in a columned hall, and a seated classical figure beneath a Latin motto framed by foliage and a cartouche; a designer might draw on the engraved crowd groupings and the ornamental frame for decorative scholarly layouts.
