Les causes de la veille et du sommeil, des songes & de la vie & de la mort
A 1631 French treatise on sleep, dreams, life and death, printed in Rouen by David du Petit Val, printer to the king, for a learned readership. Its pictures are printer's ornaments: black strapwork bands of repeating scrollwork and leaf motifs, plus a large decorated initial T with curling acanthus-like foliage, suggesting border, headpiece and initial designs for period-style layouts.
