Inventaire des erreurs : fables et desguisemens remarquables en l'Inventaire général de l'histoire de France de Ian de Serres
A 1625 Paris printed work by Scipion Dupleix, a corrective inventory of errors in Jean de Serres's history of France, aimed at scholarly readers. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, a P, M and A, framed by foliage, acanthus scrolls and flowers, plus a printed strapwork frieze. A designer could borrow these ornamental capitals and border strips for period-style lettering and page framing.
