La saincte chorographie ou description des lieux ou reside l'Eglise Chrestienne par tout l'vniuers.
La saincte chorographie is a 1629 religious geography of the lands where the Christian Church lived, written by Paul Geslin and printed at Saumur by C. Girard and D. de L'Erpiniere. The four pictures are repeated bands of ornamental strapwork, with interlaced scrolls and foliate motifs inside stacked cartouche-like blocks, printed as chapter headers. A designer could take from them a dense, symmetrical border rhythm suited to historical frames, panels or tiled patterns.
