Homelies sur les dimanches et festes de l'année : pour servier aux curez de formulaire d'instructions qu'ils doivent faire au peuple à leur prône
A 1692 French book of sermons by Antoine Godeau, published in Lyon by J.-B. Barbier, written as homilies on Sundays and feast days for parish priests to read aloud to their congregations. The pictures are small engraved headpieces and a tailpiece: two near-identical ornamental bands of scrolls, foliage, fruit and a central face, and a framed scene of two angels with a banner of Latin text above a pastoral landscape. A designer might take from them the dense symmetrical scrollwork and the framed devotional emblem style of 17th-century French print.
