Les manuscrits a miniatures de la Bibliotheque de Laon; etudies au point de vue de leur illustration ..
A nineteenth-century study by Édouard Fleury, published in Laon in 1863, on the illuminated manuscripts of the Laon library, written for scholars and collectors of medieval book art. Its plates reproduce decorated initials and miniature panels from thirteenth- and fourteenth-century manuscripts, with framed scenes of figures set inside ornate letterforms. A designer might draw on the interlaced foliate borders, pen-drawn scrollwork and the compartmented initial layouts as models for display lettering.
