F. R. O. P · 1573 · A Lyon : Par Benoist Rigaud · 3 pictures

A 1573 French printed hymn published in Lyon by Benoist Rigaud, written by F. R. O. P. to celebrate the entry into Paris and praise of Henry, newly elected king of Poland, grand duke of Lithuania. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a title-panel, with an inscription 'Sit nomen Domini benedictum' flanked by two robed female figures. A designer might take from them the framed historiated letter with a small figure, the open-work foliage of the capital M, and the symmetrical arch-and-pedestal frame around a central cartouche.
