Le Nouveau Testament : c'est à dire, La nouvelle alliance de Nostre Seigneur Jesus Christ
This is a 1668 French New Testament, printed for sale at Charenton by Estienne Lucas, with a translation by Clément Marot and Théodore de Bèze and a former owner's copy from John Adams's library. The four pictures are square decorative initial letter P blocks, each framed by a border and set within a heart or circle motif, showing a designer the small type ornaments of 17th-century French printing.
